Question #2904: Prayer position in Islam

[Ask Satya Operator]

Sometimes I want to pray to the Gods sitting on the ground in the prayer position in Islam. It is a cultural thing for me and a bit of a habit and I need to do it. I know the Gods don't want that. Would they be angry with me if I pray like that? Sitting on the knees and bowing your head in prayer is a humbling, ego-breaking experience that reminds you of the higher beings. Sometimes I really need to do that.

 

[Henu the Great]

I would revere Gods in the child's pose.

 

[High Priestess Lydia Coventina]

Sticking your butt in the air is not respectful. And this position places you at the level of a lowly worm groveling. The Gods don't want us to be like that.

People of religious backgrounds need to move past bizarre habits.

 

[Henu the Great]

The above, but a child's pose would be fine if one feels like they should bow before a master.
