GLOSSARY
SADAQATUL-FITR: Charity which is to be distributed to poor
and needy Muslims during the Festival of Fastbreaking ('Idul-Fitr).

This is a compulsory payment made at the end of the month of
Ramadan by every Muslim who is financially solvent enough to
pay it. Men are required to pay the Sadaqatul-Fitr charity on
behalf of themselves and their wives and children, including babies
who are born before sunset on the last day of Ramadan. It is
obligatory to pay this charity prior to the 'Idul-Fitr prayer. If one
pays afterwards instead, he is not considered to be paying Sadaqa-
tul-Fitr, but ordinary charity.

SAJDAH: The prostrating position for prayer. In this position
the nose, forehead, knees, toes, and palms of the hands are
touching the floor or ground. The head is placed between the
hands, which are beside the ears, with the fingers extended and
held together.
