Tashahhud - 2023 ACF Nationals

Question

The recitation of this formula occurs while kneeling after the second and last rakaʿāt of Islamic prayer. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this testimony of faith that is followed by the ṣalawāt blessing for Muhammad and his family. Jaʿfarī Shias do not recite the usual first words of this formula and add a phrase affirming that Allāh has no partner.

ANSWER: Tashahhud [or at-Tahiyat]

[10m] This action is performed during the Tashahhud, though when exactly differs by school. Ḥanafis do this while saying “La,” Shāfiʿīs do this while saying “ill-Allāh,” and Mālikīs hold that it should be done continuously.

ANSWER: raising the index finger [accept pointing the index finger; accept raising and lowering the index finger; accept equivalent descriptions; prompt on descriptions that do not specify which finger; reject answers like “raising one’s hand” or “raising one’s arm”]

[10e] Original language required. If salat is not over, Muslims recite these words after the Tashahhud to continue on. Sections of salat are punctuated by this phrase meaning “God is great,” which is also called the takbir.

ANSWER: Allāhu ʾakbar
