Talk:Prayer callus

message: somobody proposed this article for deletion citing
this phenomena is unverfied, only slightly probable, and has got a hint of «mythology about strange foreigners» to it
This person has obviously never been to Egypt. I originally created this topic after a trip to egypt, where the prayer bump is ubiquitous, but the internet gave very scant resources about this phenomenon. I will add some references in popular culture to the article and I have removed the deletion tag

message: One problem might be that the article spells it a different way (owing to transliteration variations, no doubt).  
New York Times had a lengthy article about it.

thread_title: Merger

message: I think the use of word rubbing gives a very wrong perception to a lay person, who might think that in order to obtain a hardened spot on your forehead, muslims rub their forehead on the mat during prostration, which is absolutely incorrect. I wish for it to be replaced by a more scientifically derived explanation.
Also, its not as rare to see this phenomenon among muslims, as this article makes it out to be. Here in India I see quite many people having a zebibah. Such baseless assumption seems to be provoking people to believe that zebibah occurs when a person desires to have it through longer and more 'rubbed' prostrations. Rather, it occurs quite naturally over time (through years), because a muslim who prays 5 times a day puts down his head about 40-70 times a day on a mattress, which is about 1200 times a month and 14400 times a year.  --Imdad.ahmed (talk) 13:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The use of the word 'rubbing' 

message: Why do you want to put up the photo of a convicted terrorist to represent muslims who have a mark of sincere devotion to God on their foreheads? This shocking and sad, please replace it.  --Imdad.ahmed (talk) 13:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move to the proposed title in an under-attended RM. However, since there is an agreement that "bump" is unencyclopedic, I'll move to the suggested Prayer callus as an improvement.   No such user (talk) 12:41, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
