Can you specify the geographic origin as well as the Arabic equivalent of the local name?
Very, very interesting. Jewish tradition requires reading the Torah without actually touching it . Thus, the reader holds a short silver staff with sculptured hand at the tip and traces the text with the sculptured finger. This staff is called Ya'd ( hand). Is there a similar custom in Islam? |
