Does the prostration of recitation (Sujud al-Tilawah) elevate a believer's ranks in Paradise, expiate their sins, increase their good deeds, and make Satan weep, or does it have another reward?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"Frequent prostration raises ranks and expiates sins, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'You must prostrate much to Allah, for you will not prostrate to Allah once but that Allah will raise you a degree thereby and remove a sin from you thereby.' The prostration of recitation is included in the general encouragement for prostration, and it is a cause for Shaytan's weeping."
