| has gloss | eng: A turbah (Arabic تربة) is a small piece of soil or clay used by practitioners of Shi'a Islam during the daily prayers (Salat). While use of turab "soil" is not compulsory, using a turba of some sort is highly recommended and many Hadith narrate the benefits of prostration (Sajda) upon the soil of the earth or at least an alternative material. The most favoured soil for a turba is the soil of Karbala, the site of the martyrdom of Imam Husayn; however, soil from anywhere may be used. In the absence of soil, plants or items made from plants may be substituted. This provision has been extended to include the use of paper. |
