Islamic Devotional Practices

Devotional practices belonging to Islam, including the Five Pillars, the five daily prayers Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha and their component acts such as Rak'a, Niyyah, Raf al-Yadayn and Sujud Sahwi, voluntary prayers such as Tahajjud, Tarawih, Witr, Qiyam al-Layl and Salatul Tasbih, Hajj and umrah rites such as Tawaf and Sai between Safa and Marwa, Sufi practices such as Dhikr and the veneration of saints' shrines, Shia practices such as the Mourning of Ashura, the heterodox Anatolian Cem ceremony of Alevism, Islamic calligraphic scripts such as Kufic, Naskh, Thuluth and Nastaliq, the Persian miniature painting tradition of the Persianate Islamic courts, and the modern Women's Mosque Movement. A practice such as Mehndi that the atlas's own live text names as shared across Islam and other South Asian traditions rather than Islam alone stays ungrouped instead of being placed here on a partial match.
