Here Is The Most Valid Way To Pray
-
Then you can wonder why some people who pray traditionally still seem not to boost these levels. There must be something wrong with their intention or practice?
Of course it is a rhetorical question; I know the answer.
Which is?
According to Paul Zak's experiment above, he found 5% among his sampled human being which do not have the natural ability to generate Oxytocin. Jokingly he labeled that 5% group as "Bastards". Psychopath also fell within this group.
Upon closer examination, many among those within this "5% lack of Oxytocin generating capability" human group were found to be experiencing "problematic childhood". There's a correlation between "childhood nurturing" and "capability of generating oxytocin".
Autism and Oxytocin
Although not all of the "5% group" are actually bastards. People with Autism also lacking the capability of generating healthy dose of Oxytocin.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutismAs we speak there is an ongoing medical trial of injecting Oxytocin as part of therapy for Autism, along with other natural techniques such as "hugging" which also proven to generate Oxytocin in all Mammals. Yes in all Mammals! not only human.

"Bear Oxytocining with each others"So for those who think that "praying / meditation" is too complicated, there's another simpler method widely practiced by all beings within Mammal kingdom to generate a healthy doze of Oxytocin.
HUGGING!
If you choose "Hugging" as your preferred method, the recommendation is at least "8 times a day"

Peace all.
Brother Jafar, is there no other benefit for us other than those you mentioned here? Studying "prayer"/salat only based on the amount of secretion of the hormone oxytocin in our bodies is not the smartest thing to do? The secretion oxytocin could be one of many effect.
The answer ?n to WHY one should perform "prayers"/salat can be found in the book.

I don't really like praying and feels like it is a waste of time, no effect even after so many years. Lots of movement and too short, and it is hard for us to focus in that short period of time. It is only effective if I stop eating for days. However, I do like dzikr.. a lot. You'll start to feel the effect after 4-6 hours. The remembrance of Allah.

EXACTLY
I will add a little
Recite thou that which hath been revealed unto thee of the Book and establish thou the prayer; verily prayer preventeth man from indecency and that which is disreputable and surely the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. And Allah knoweth that which ye perform 2945
And seek help in patience and prayer and verily it is, hard except prayer unto the meek 245
O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through , until you have washed . And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands . Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving. (An-Nisaa 43)
SALAT IS "SAYING" and not RECITING verses of the QURAN
Zachariah and Moses prayed but they did not have any revealed Book from Allah to recite verses from the Book.
Are their prayers different from the prayers of Muhammad?
Prayers are nothing but a direct connection with Allah by heart and mind through the channel of communication. (This is zikr)
Praise Allah for that HE deserves, Place your needs, your problems before HIM and ask for HIS guidance and seek help, ask for forgiveness, repent for your daily sins/ errors intentional/unintentional. You follow this twice a day, dawn and after sunset, and see the changes it brings in your life. If you follow in truth then you shall be near MUTTAQEEN

Well feel free to add
But at the least the "Oxytocin" can be an objective measurement to compare "Which Method/Languages/Direction/Rites/Timing/Frequency etc" is better. Which some of you apparently love to discuss / debate / argue on this forum
The benefit of "Salat" according to Quran is
"Verily The Salat can prevents from Shameful and Evil Deed".
(2945)Which is among the effect of "Oxitocyn" to human, Oxitocyn induce caring, empathy and trust.
Or in other words it shall suppress arrogant, self-centric and hatred, which are the characteristic of Evil!At least now we know the 'technicality' of how it happened.
So folks, do more often of your praying, meditating and hugging!
The timing, language, saying, places, direction etc.. doesn't really matter, just do what you think it's best for you.
And do it more often! that's the most important thing.
Remember in the end, it's your 'deed' that actually matter.Salam / Peace

I wonder what Prophet Muhammad did on the Cave of Hira.. Is he salah or dzikr.
Totally NONSENSE and FABRICATED STORY
Found He not thee an orphan, so He sheltered thee? 936
And He found thee ASTRAY, so He GUIDED thee 937
And He found thee destitute, so He enriched thee 938
No revelation inside the Hira Cave, it is all a nonsense story. No one knows when and where the first verse was revealed to the Prophet.
Without guidance he went to cave, for what? What he did in the cave without guidance?
Did the prophet know what is ZIKR or SALAT before going to the cave?
And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book (like Quran) before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it (Book like Quran) with thy right hand In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted. (Al-Ankaboot 4

@hafeez kazi
Actually, everything is a nonsense because the only book we accept is the Quran, and the Quran is not about the history of Muhammad. However, there is no need to panic about everything since the history of Muhammad is not about the Deen of Islam. If it is fabricated, let it be. It's okay. His story is like painting, and you can paint it all you like, and others can paint it all they like... so as the little kids or disabled persons. In the end, "it is just a painting". The important thing is not the results of our paintings, but the feeling of aliveness and depth from painting experiences. However, there might be some reasonable point for him to separate himself from the community in order to seek for truth, so as Abraham, Moses and many other prophets. In fact so as all other peoples on the path of spirituality, including the Siddharta Gautama. The path of "purification of our heart and meditation", remembrance of "The One Creator", ie. " the feeling of aliveness and depth from painting experiences".

YOU ARE RIGHT

Trust, morality - and oxytocin
Thus "Oxytocin" dubbed the nickname of "Morale molecule".
Do your experiment, measure the amount of "Oxytocin" increase and share your result!
And there you go finally we have a 'metric' to decide "The Most Valid / Best Way To Pray" by measuring the increase of Oxytocin within the human body. In similar manner as we can decide "The Most Valid / Best Way To Exercise" by measuring the amount of calories burned by specific exercise.
Salam / Peace
Salam,
Soon oxytocin shall come to market to replace God by the allopathic mafia.
What a way to Pray! "O God, give us money to buy oxytocin to boost our morale so that we enter heaven."
