18 February 2026, Iraq, Karbala: A Shiite Muslim man places a clay tablet known as "Turbah" on his forehead during prayers in the shrine of Imam Hussein in Karbala. The clay tablets are made from soil collected from beneath the shrine of Imam Hussein in Karbala, to be used during Shiite prayers in a practice recommended by the Twelve Shia Imams as symbol of humility and remembrance.
