On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, he said
“God loves sneezing and hates yawning, so if one of you sneezes and praises God, every Muslim who hears it should say, May God have mercy on you, and as for yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, let him stop it as much as he can
God Almighty hates yawning, so if one of us yawns too much, it is Sunnah for him to stop it as much as he can, The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, does not like to yawn, but wants us to stop it as much as possible, and researches these days gives us some benefits to the yawning to enhance the capabilities of our minds, so do we want it or leave it for the sake of our brains? Let's start:
The pro of yawning
Yawning regulates brain temperature and thus improves mental efficiency
- Biologists have discovered a surprising relationship between the length of time mammals yawn and how large and complex their brains are.
They think it may also be a sign of increased cognitive ability. It appears that the duration of a yawn may be related to cognitive ability.
- It describes / feeling tired or hot
The Cons of yawning
Yawning means you are bored
Yawning means that you expel excess carbon dioxide, which has built up because you started breathing slower because you were so bored that you wanted to die.
Yawning is contagious
- If you are in a meeting and the guy next to you yawns but it doesn't happen in secret, you also yawn (and this may disrupt the meeting)
Escape of the soul from the body
Some ancient cultures believed that when men or women yawned, the soul was trying to escape, and that the act of covering the mouth helped prevent the soul from leaving the body.
Now: Why do you think that the Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace: orders us to fight yawning as much as we can?
As you saw in the above context, research indicates many benefits to enhance the capabilities of our minds by yawning, and in some of them it says that it works as a screensaver for your brain to reduce its temperature, and this yawning lasts for 6 seconds at the latest, so why does the Messenger- peace be uopn him - guide us to the opposite? ?
In fact, we do not know exactly this, but some pauses are possible:
1- The Islamic religion includes the whole of life, so the Prophet could not ignore etiquette, even a small one, that surrounds our life from every aspect, from the small to the great.
2 - That it is not considered high manners in some cultures, and that whoever does that would be tantamount to lack of taste if the person who yawns is hosting people.
3 - As we have seen above, in some cultures it may be considered tantamount to the exit of the soul, and perhaps the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - wanted us to move away from the bad habits that are disputed.
4 - Religions came only to fight customs, especially the bad ones, why? Perhaps because the Islamic religion is a global religion, and not specific to a specific region, so its supporters will be spread among people and have the same behavior, so people, especially Muslims among them, will be superior to socially undesirable habits.
5 - Also: Perhaps the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - wants us to fight yawning while we are among people as common tastes, and in the most general case, a person among us lives among people and does not live alone, so he gets used to practicing the good thing while he is alone as he is among people.
