Question

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

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.)
