Why Do Shia Pray on a Stone? The Turbah Explained

In this episode of BeQuran, Ali and Fatima dive deep into one of the most visually distinctive practices in Islamic prayer: the use of a turbah a small piece of earth or clay commonly used by Shia Muslims during sujood (prostration).

Drawing on Sunni hadith collections like Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, and guided by insights from Dr. Sayed Ammar Nakshawani, this episode explores the roots of this practice, its link to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and the historical precedent set by his companions.
