Islamic Sleep Posture
Islam has strict rules on how you sleep. Firstly, you cannot sleep on your stomach. Sunaan
Tirmidhi (1226) writes that Allah does not like your lying on your stomach. Another hadis (ibid,
1228) says if you lie on your stomach Allah will send you to hell.
A Muslim must sleep like a prophet. It means to lie with belly up. Ghazali (p.2.20) writes that to
lie with belly up is to sleep like the prophets.
