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?
"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."
