Ask The Imam Question and Answer

257 Could the Imam Saab please tell me the reason behind, why we do two Sajda in Namaz instead of one, apart from the obvious answer that we are told to do so. Someone told me the reason why we do it, and I want to know if I have been told correct.
It is found in traditions that when Allah Subhana Wa Taala ordered the Angels to do sajda to Adam Alaihi Salaam, they did and Iblis (Shytan) did not and when they lifted their heads (after 100 years or 500 years) they saw that Iblis was not one of them (he stood in arrogance with his back to Prophet Adam Alaihi Salaam) and they then did 2nd sajda to Allah Subhana Wa Taala, for thankfulness that they are not from the disobedient. Tafseer Ruhul Biyaan.

Therefore it can be understood that the first sajda is of obedience and the 2nd of thankfulness. We as Muslims have been taught by our beloved Prophet Sallalhu Alaihi Wasallam that this is the method to pray i.e. to do 2 sajdas.
