This article is an analytical descriptive study to explore information about the benefits of prayer on physical health. The results of the study show that prayer is not only a spiritual dimension which is often referred to as mi rÄj al-mu' min. However, prayer is also of beneficial value for the physical health of the doer. These benefits, among others, are obtained through prayer movements, starting with Takbirah al-Ihrâm, followed by bowing, i'tidal, prostration, and sitting, then ending with a greeting. These findings suggest that prayer is not merely an obligation, as a form of worship to Allah. More than that, prayer is a necessity. Thus, leaving prayer does not only mean abandoning one's obligations but also means not fulfilling one's needs.
