There are 14 (+1) places in the Qur’an where it is good practice to prostrate. I have been wanting to put together a concise list of these for quite a while. Finally got a chance, so here it is,
| # | Name of Surah | Surah # | Verse # |
| 1 | Al-A’raaf (The Heights) | 7 | 206 |
| 2 | Ar-Ra’d (The Thunder) | 13 | 15 |
| 3 | An-Nahl (The Bee) | 16 | 50 |
| 4 | Al-Israa (The Night Journey) | 17 | 109 |
| 5 | Maryam (Mary) | 19 | 58 |
| 6 | Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) | 22 | 18 |
| 7* | Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) | 22 | 77 |
| 8 | Al-Furqaan (The Criterion) | 25 | 60 |
| 9 | An-Naml (The Ant) | 27 | 26 |
| 10 | As-Sajda (The Prostration) | 32 | 15 |
| 11 | Saad (The letter Saad) | 38 | 24 |
| 12 | Fussilat (Explained in detail) | 41 | 38 |
| 13 | An-Najm (The Star) | 53 | 62 |
| 14 | Al-Inshiqaaq (The Splitting Open) | 84 | 21 |
| 15 | Al-Alaq (The Clot) | 96 | 19 |
Note: * In all, fourteen (14) places of prostration are agreed upon by all Muslim religious scholars and Ulamā, while Imām Shāfi’ī suggests prostration at this place (22:77).
