Mohammed and the use of the turbah
According to Abu Sa`d al-Khudri: "I saw Allah's Apostle
prostrate himself in mud and water and saw the mud marl on his forehead"
[5] Although Muhammad prayed on the ground, the hadith Sahih al- Bukhari says
that "Allah's Apostle used to pray in Khumra."
The idea of "favorable consideration" affirms
that some types of soil, so some types of places are better than others for
prayer. For example, the places, buildings and structures related to Allah and
Muhammad are held in the highest regard when it comes to places for the celebration
of prayer, but to pray in places like garbage dumps, massacre houses, roads,
and baths is prohibited .
Importance of Karbala
Karbala is especially important for Shia Muslims, because
the MARTYRDOM of Husayn ibn Ali is considered one of the main lines of division
among the Muslims of the time. Husayn is important because of his relationship
with the Prophet, and therefore, the dust of Karbala is considered one of the
most sacred places to pray.
Since they are not Muslims scattered all over the world,
Shiite Muslims have created small tablets of clay called Mohr or turbah from
the land of Karbala. However, since it is a matter of honor and respect,
Muslims are allowed to prostrate on other material ground.
