:O




In a separate thing I read, some other scientists did a study on the effect of gamma waves on mice and found that their brains built up less plaque (which apparently co-related to dieases like Alzheimer's...?). So if you put two and two together: praying or meditating leads to heightened gamma waves which lead to potentially brain longevity and health! 

In the Islamic culture, we always do say that someone who reads a lot of Quran or memorizes the Quran does not get dementia. There seems to be truth in that! In fact, I've been thinking how amazing/ridiculous it is: Islam stipulates Muslims pray with khusyu' i.e. practice mindfulness in prayer 5 times a day every day of our lives -- and here we are learning scientifically about mindfulness like it's a miraculous thing we should all suddenly take up. 

helllloooooo Muslims please pray it is good not just for your soul but your health
It's probably good in ways we will never know or understand.
God always knows.
