Sujood (prostration) is one of the greatest moments of closeness between a servant and Allah. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "The closest a servant is to his Lord is while he is prostrating, so increase your supplications."

For this reason, Muslims are encouraged to remember Allah and make sincere duas during sujood.

The main remembrance said during prostration is:

(Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)

It is recommended to repeat it three times or more.

"Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbana wa bihamdik, Allahumma ighfir li."

(Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You. O Allah, forgive me.)
