rukousnauha

Rukousnauha, also known as the prayer cord or prayer rope, is a traditional Islamic accessory used during the recitation of the Quran and other prayers. It is typically a cord made of leather, silk, or other materials, often decorated with beads or other embellishments. The rukousnauha is held in the right hand during prayer, with the left hand placed on the right hand, and is used to count the repetitions of certain prayers, such as the daily obligatory prayers (salah) and the nightly prayers (tarawih).

The rukousnauha is an important symbol of Islamic devotion and is often worn by Muslims during prayer. It is also used as a teaching tool for children to learn the proper way to pray and to count the repetitions of prayers. The use of a rukousnauha is not mandatory in Islam, but it is widely practiced and is considered a helpful aid for those who wish to improve their prayer practice.

The rukousnauha is typically worn around the wrist, but it can also be worn around the neck or as a pendant. It is often given as a gift or as a token of appreciation for good deeds. The rukousnauha is an important part of Islamic culture and tradition, and its use is a reflection of the importance of prayer in the Islamic faith.
