Muslim's Prayer ?

Hello my fellow heathens,

Today my friend told me Islam is the only religion with a unique way of prayer style (Salah), and its been sceintifically proven that salah has healh benefits , so i told him about the hindu religion's meditation but he told me that salah has way much benefits that it .

And i read somewhere that muslims waste 3.2 billion man hours a day for salah. •﹏•

Does it have any health benefits ? Thoughts ?

LoL, that's the first time I

LoL, that's the first time I heard that argument.

First, if relaxation exercises has positive health effects, I very much doubt that Salah has any better effect than that.
(Unless perhaps, it good for stretching out the back)

Second, even if that prayer style would be proven to be healthy, that's in no way an argument for Islam being true. It's only an argument for doing it as an exercise, just like meditation.

Your friend just contradicted

Your friend just contradicted himself. He told you:

1) salah is the only style has health benefits.

2) salah gives more benefits than meditation.
