five-pillars-of-islam

Five upright pillars standing side by side, supporting a single simple roofline to suggest the structure of a house. Each pillar carries one label, left to right: 1) Shahadah: belief in Allah and His Messenger, 2) Salah, prayer, 3) Sawm, fasting, 4) Zakat, giving, 5) Hajj, pilgrimage. Clean, flat, geometric style with no photographic imagery; a small icon above each label (a heart for Shahadah, a praying figure for Salah, a crescent moon for Sawm, a coin or open hand for Zakat, and the Kaaba as a simple black cube for Hajj).

grave-qiblah-diagram

A respectful schematic diagram of a grave, in two parts, with no depiction of a body. Part one: an overhead view showing the grave as a simple rectangular outline, with a narrower niche (the lahd) shown cut into the side wall that faces the qiblah, and an arrow labelled 'qiblah' pointing in the direction the niche opens towards. Part two: a small side cross-section showing the niche as a shelf-like recess at the base of one wall of the grave, with a dashed outline (not a human figure) lying on its side within the niche to indicate the orientation only, facing the same qiblah arrow. Label 'lahd (niche)' and 'qiblah direction' clearly. Keep the whole diagram abstract, geometric and dignified, no facial features, no realistic body shape, no shroud detail.

eid-takbir-diagram

A two-row sequence diagram, one row per rakat of the Eid prayer. Row 1 (first rakat, left to right): a standing figure icon labelled 'Takbīrat al-Iḥrām + Thanā'', then three small identical 'Allāhu Akbar' takbir marks in a row labelled 'x3 (wājib, each separately)', then an arrow into a box labelled 'Sūrat al-Fātiḥah + a sūrah (aloud)', then icons for rukū' and two sajdahs. Row 2 (second rakat, left to right): a standing figure labelled 'Sūrat al-Fātiḥah + a sūrah (aloud)', then three small 'Allāhu Akbar' takbir marks labelled 'x3 (wājib, each separately)', then a fourth, visually distinguished takbir mark labelled 'takbir for rukū' (wājib)' with an arrow leading straight into the rukū' icon, then two sajdah icons. A caption beneath the two rows reads: 'Six takbirs beyond the usual opening takbir: three before the recitation in the first rakat, three after the recitation in the second rakat, plus the wājib takbir for rukū' in the second rakat.' Use a simple, flat icon style consistent with the site's other diagrams; no photographic or realistic figures.

fasting-day-timeline

A horizontal diagram of a single fasting day plotted against the sun's path. The sun sits low on the left at a point labelled 'True dawn (fajr), the fast begins'; a thin band of pre-dawn twilight is shaded just before it, with a small food-and-drink icon crossed out starting exactly at that line. The sun arcs upward through late morning to a peak at midday (labelled faintly as 'zawal, midday' with a small tick mark, not a boundary of the fast), then descends across the afternoon. On the right, the sun touches the horizon at a point labelled 'Sunset (maghrib), the fast ends', where the crossed-out food-and-drink icon stops and a small crescent-and-star or date icon marks iftar. The whole arc between the two labelled points is shaded or underlined in one consistent colour to show it is a single continuous fast, distinguishing it clearly from the unshaded night portions on either side. Labels are in plain English with the Arabic terms (fajr, zawal, maghrib) given in parentheses. No clock times are shown, since these shift with the calendar and location, only the sequence of sky events matters.

jumuah-rows-diagram

A bird's-eye diagram of the prayer hall showing how the rows (sufuf) behind the imam are formed and filled. The imam stands alone at the front, facing the qiblah wall (mihrab). Row 1, directly behind him, is drawn completely full, worshippers shoulder to shoulder with no gaps. Row 2 is drawn only partly relevant until row 1 is shown full, label it 'fill only once row 1 is complete'. Row 3 is drawn empty with a dashed outline, labelled 'not started until row 2 is full'. A curved arrow runs from the back of the hall to a gap in row 1, labelled 'a latecomer moves forward to close a gap even in a full row, before the sermon starts'. At the end (not the middle) of one row, draw two smaller figures labelled 'boys are placed at the end of a row, not in the middle'. Outside the rows entirely, near the wall, draw one small child with a label 'a child under seven is not brought into the rows'. Keep the style simple and schematic (circles or simple standing figures viewed from above), suitable for both light and dark backgrounds.

ihram-garments-diagram

Two side-by-side simple line-drawing figures of a man wearing the two unsewn white sheets of Ihram, front view, modest and non-facial (faceless or simplified features, consistent with the site's other human-figure illustrations).

prohibited-marriages-family-tree

A family-tree diagram centred on a man, with the women he can never marry picked out in the accent colour and labelled by relationship, in two groups.

sick-person-prayer-postures

Three simple side-by-side figures showing how a person unable to stand prays. Figure 1: seated on a chair or on the floor in whichever posture is easiest, with two small arrows or angle-marks on the head showing a shallow bow for ruku and a deeper bow for sujood, so the two are visibly different in depth. Figure 2: lying on the back, feet pointing toward a labelled qiblah direction, the head slightly propped up and turned toward the qiblah, with the same pair of shallow/deep head-bow angle-marks for ruku and sujood. Figure 3: lying on the right side, face turned toward the labelled qiblah direction, used when lying on the back is not possible, again with the shallow/deep head-bow marks for ruku and sujood. Each figure is captioned with its situation ("sitting", "lying on the back", "lying on the side") and an arrow in each labelled "qiblah" so the direction being faced is unambiguous.

prayer-times-sun-diagram

A single day's timeline, from before dawn to the following dawn, with the sun's position marked at the key moments: true dawn, sunrise, the zenith, the mid-afternoon shadow point, sunset, and the disappearance of the white twilight. Above the timeline, five coloured bands run left to right for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, each band starting and ending exactly at the sun-position markers that open and close its window, and each labelled with the prayer's name and the plain description of what starts and ends it (e.g. Fajr: true dawn to sunrise; Dhuhr: the sun's zenith to a shadow twice an object's height). A small sun icon moves along an arc above the timeline to show the sun's height at each marker, low near the dawn/dusk ends and highest above the Dhuhr/Asr boundary.

zakat-recipient-categories-wheel

A circular wheel diagram divided into seven equal labelled slices, one for each category of zakat recipient named in this source document: (1) Fakir - the poor person, (2) Miskin - the needy person, (3) Aamil - the zakat collector, (4) Mukatab - a slave working to buy freedom, (5) Qardhar - the debtor, (6) Fi Sabilillah - one in the cause of Allah, (7) Musafir - the stranded traveller. Each slice carries the category's name plus a two-to-four word plain-English gloss (e.g. 'Fakir - has too little'). Use a single simple line-icon at the outer edge of each slice (a coin, an empty bowl, a collection satchel, a broken chain, a scale tipped by debt, a raised hand or banner, a footprint/road). Center of the wheel reads 'Who receives zakat'. Note: the source document lists seven categories, not the eight sometimes listed elsewhere (it does not include 'those whose hearts are to be reconciled'); the diagram must show exactly these seven, not eight.
