What is the term for the bowing position during prayer?
ARuku
BSujood
CQiyam
DQa'dah
Explanation
- Ruku is the bowing position in Salah, performed after the standing recitation with the hands on the knees.
- The back is kept level during Ruku, and “Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem” is recited in this posture.
- Option B Sujood is the prostration that comes after Ruku, where the forehead touches the ground.
- Option C Qiyam means standing and option D Qa’dah means sitting, so both describe other postures.
- The order within each Rakat is Qiyam, then Ruku, then Sujood, which makes the sequence easy to recall.
- Salah posture MCQs appear often in PPSC and NTS Islamic Studies sections, so learning the Arabic names in order helps.
