Prostration helps the body discharge harmful electromagnetic waves. A non-Muslim scientist discovered that putting one's forehead on the ground allows the body to ground out positive electromagnetic charges, similar to how buildings are grounded to discharge electrical signals like from lightning. Placing the forehead directly on the ground or on sand allows for the most effective grounding. Interestingly, scientific findings show that Mecca is located at the center of the Earth's electromagnetic field and the Kaaba is at its exact center, making prostration during prayer the ideal way to discharge electromagnetic waves while also coming closer to God. While prostration is primarily an act of obedience to God, there are health benefits that were unknown until recent scientific discoveries.
