Sleep like a baby

Islam calls for us to sleep the right way so that not only we get a good night sleep but also befitting to our health.

Imam Shafa'i (may Allah have mercy upon him) states that there are four types of sleep;
1. One is to lie on the back this is the sleep of the Prophets,
2. One is to sleep on the right side which is the sleep of the worshippers,
3. One is to sleep on the left which is the sleep of the rulers
4. And one is to sleep on the stomach that is the sleep of the devil.
We should sleep according to the Sunnah as there are many benefits including health benefits.

Do refer to the photo below the right sleeping position.

And don't forget to recite the dua before sleeping (refer to attachment) as well as the following surah at the very minimum: surah Al-Fatihah and the three Quls , and thereafter to blow on the palms and rub three times on one's entire body ' beginning from the head and ending at the toes.

Other surah good to read before sleeping are Surah Mulk , Surah Sajdah , Surah Bani Israeel and Surah Zumar. To recite Surah Waaqi'ah is also good as this safeguards one from hunger and poverty.

Good nite and sleep tight!
