Description
A turbah (Arabic: تربة, lit. 'soil'), or mohr (Persian: مهر, lit. 'seal'), also known as khÄk-e shefÄ (Persian: خاک٠شÙÙا, lit. 'medicinal soil', also used in Urdu) and sejde gÄh (Persian: Ø³Ø¬Ø¯Û Ú¯Ø§Û, lit. 'place of prostration', also used in Urdu), is a small piece of soil or clay, often a clay tablet, used during salat (Islamic daily prayers) to symbolize earth.[1] The use of a turbah is recommended in the Twelver Shia school of Islam, a unique practice of the sect, and many Hadiths mention the benefits of prostration (Sajda) upon soil or an alternative natural material. The most favoured soil is that of Karbala, the site of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Al. 1-1/2" Dia.
