zuhr

Updated: June 25, 2025

Literally, to perform the act of "rubbing the nose on the earth," expressive of extreme humility. The term zuhr strictly denotes the period devoted to the mid-day prayer, which is offered up after the sun has perceptibly declined from the meridian. Vide note 4, in page 14.
