We glorify Allah, the exalted and we wonder who told Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, that the forelock becomes active while praying and when being humble in prayer and that such activity helps people make successful decisions? Amazingly, the holy Qur&#8217;an successfully connects between prayer and humility on one hand and success on the other; Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur\u2019an:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe believers must (eventually) win through* those who humble themselves in their prayers\u201d Mu\u2019minun or the Believers: 23: 1-2<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Abduldaem Al-Kaheel<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) while praying and we can see how the forelock is getting active\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[69],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3887"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
