The scientific miracle in praying two units on the wedding night: they remove excess electrical charges from the brain.
Comment:
1. Prayer and prostration aim to revere the Lord, mighty and majestic, and submit humbly before Him. Investigating and delving into the material, utilitarian effects of this noble worship is the strained speculation we were forbidden. It gives acts of worship immediate worldly ends that we desire out of love for this world. Excess in this area makes one forget worship’s reality, losing its effect in recalling and preparing for the hereafter.
2. This claim has not been scientifically established. It is conjecture and speculation based on observations that are not inductively verified, arising from an obsession with connecting worship to material, utilitarian effects. Those with this orientation find otherworldly effects and the true ends of worship difficult to accept; indeed, these do not satisfy them. They strain to connect every detail of worship to a material effect and utilitarian benefit, even by mere assertion.
3. No statement or action of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, establishes the two units before consummation as a Prophetic Sunnah. What some scholars have authenticated consists of reports from certain Companions. Whoever follows these follows a transmitted precedent and incurs no blame. Straining to claim a scientific miracle in such a matter is very far-fetched.
4. These two units and this prostration belong to thanking God for His blessing and beginning married life with humility and submission to Him, the supreme purpose of humanity’s creation on earth. Every activity that is not itself worship serves, assists and provides a means to realise worship. God knows best.
5. We do not rule out that the inventor of this post was an atheist seeking to circulate it among Muslims to mock, ridicule and attack religion, after which some Muslims circulated it in good faith and with good intentions. God knows best.
