Question

While performing this action, Shia Muslims often touch their heads with tablets made from soil from Karbala called turbah. (10[1])On the Day of Resurrection, the ummah will be marked by signs of performing this action. While performing this action, “Subhanallah” (-5[1])is recited three times. The second and third parts of a rakat involve two different types of this action. Out of arrogance, Iblis (10[1])refused to perform (10[1])this action for Adam. (10[2])Types of this (-5[1])action such as ruku or sujūd are interspersed throughout salat, (10[1])and differ by being performed at the waist or knees after starting in a standing position. (10[1])For 10 points, prayer rugs assist Muslims in performing what physical action? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: bowing [accept prostration or word forms such as prostrating or prostrate; accept ruku until it is read; accept sujūd or sajdah until “sujūd” is read; prompt on bending over or stooping over; prompt on prayer or praying or salat or salah with “what physical action during prayer?”; prompt on adoration] (Practitioners will touch their heads to turbah tablets.)
