Background

[edit]

According to Islamic (Shi'i) narrations, "Turbah Karbala" has diverse effects,[11][12][13]and prostrating on it is considered as aMustahab(recommended) practice[14]during the time of prayer(s).[15]The sixth Imam of Shia Islam,Ja'far al-Sadiqnamed this soil as affairs trouble-shooter.[16][17]

Turbah which means soil,[18][19]grave, tomb, etc.,[20]is regarded (as a probability) as every soil around each holy grave(s) among the Islamic prophetMuhammad,The Twelve ImamsandImamzadehs;but exclusively it is attributed to the soil of Hussain ibn Ali's grave,[21]and the phrases "Tin-al-Qabr" or "al-Tin" are considered as it according to thehadithsofShia Imams.[22]

"Turbah Karbala" has various influences, amongst:

  • (Divine) reward for the reciter ofDhikr(who keep this turbah in his/her hand)[23]
  • High spiritual effects on human (by touching it to the body)[24]
  • Safety against calamities, and every fear[25]
  • Safety for children (newborns)[26]
  • Healing[27]
