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

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). Figure 1, labelled 'Normal wear': the izar (lower sheet) wrapped around the waist and tied, covering from the navel to below the knee; the rida (upper sheet) draped evenly over both shoulders and down the back and front, both shoulders covered. Figure 2, labelled 'Idhtiba' (worn during tawaf)': the same two garments, but the rida is pulled from under the right armpit and thrown over the left shoulder, leaving the right shoulder and upper arm bare. Add small labels pointing to the izar and the rida on Figure 1. Flat, schematic, non-photographic style matching the site's existing diagrams (e.g. WuduSteps).

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. Group one, blood relations (by lineage or fosterage, drawn with a note that a foster relationship prohibits marriage the same way): mother, and grandmothers on both sides going up; daughters and granddaughters going down; sisters (full, and sharing only one parent); paternal aunts and their line of ancestor's sisters; maternal aunts and their line; nieces through brothers and through sisters. A small side-note box states that the children of aunts and uncles (cousins) are not on this list and may be married. Group two, in-laws by marriage (affinity), shown as a separate branch attaching at the point of marriage: the wife's mother and grandmothers; the wife's daughters from a previous relationship (noted as prohibited only once the marriage is consummated); the wives of the man's father, grandfather, son and grandson. No faces are drawn; each box is a plain labelled rectangle connected by lines showing the family relationship, flat line-art style with no colour other than the neutral outline and one accent colour for the prohibited women.

garment-washing-steps
Three square panels in the style of the wudu figure (flat dark-ink line art on off-white, one teal accent, no faces), showing how cloth carrying an unseen impurity is wrung: (1) two hands hold a plain rectangular cloth by its upper corners under a stream of water, the cloth filled with the pale teal wash and dripping; (2) the same cloth twisted into a rope between two fists, still filled, water pouring from the twist; (3) the same twisted cloth squeezed again between the fists, unfilled, with no water anywhere. The teal fill means water held in the cloth, so its absence in the last panel is the test of a thorough wringing. The count of three is carried by the HTML caption, not the drawing.

congregation-rows-diagram
A bird's-eye diagram of a congregation facing the qiblah (an arrow at the top marks the direction). The imam stands alone, centred, ahead of the first row. Behind him, straight rows of male followers are shown shoulder to shoulder, filling each row from the centre outward before a new row starts. A note callout shows a single follower standing directly beside the imam rather than behind, for the case of only one follower. A separate small inset shows the order of rows from front to back: men, then young boys, then women at the very back.

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
One day from true dawn to the next dawn, drawn as a horizontal timeline where there is room and as a vertical rail on a phone. Along the top, the sun's path: a dotted arc that rises from below the horizon at sunrise, peaks at the zenith and sets at sunset, with the night shaded either side and a sun disc at each of the six moments that open and close the windows (true dawn, sunrise, the zenith, the shadow beyond the zenith shadow reaching twice the object's height, sunset, the end of the white twilight) plus the next dawn. Below it, five bands in the accent colour for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, each running exactly between its opening and closing moments, with a gap between sunrise and the zenith in which nothing is due. The proportions follow a middling day of about twelve hours' daylight, so Fajr is short, Dhuhr the long middle, Maghrib brief and Isha the whole night. Every label is HTML in the site's type, in two staggered rows so none collide; the exact wording of each boundary is in the table beneath the figure.

sai-safa-marwa
A simple horizontal diagram of the saʿy course. Two raised, labelled platforms bookend a straight covered walkway: 'Safa' on the left, 'Marwah' on the right. A dashed line runs between them showing the path walked. Partway along the path, two vertical green markers (drawn as thin green pillars or lights) are placed close together, with a shaded band between them labelled 'men jog here (harwalah)', the rest of the path is labelled 'walk'. An arrow beneath the path shows one full traverse counting as one round, with a small note '7 rounds total, starting at Safa, ending at Marwah'. No people or faces are depicted; flat line-diagram style in the site's accent colour, legible at a small size on a phone.

Shade the whole bounded area lightly to show it must all be washed. Add a small callout pointing to the inner corner of the eye (near the bridge of the nose) noting that dirt collects there and must be cleaned, and a callout on the jaw area between the cheek and ear labelled 'temple' to show it is included.

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.

The book and its author
Nisab Ahle Khidmaat Sharia was written by Qāḍī Ghulām Muḥiyuddīn (may Allah have mercy on him), born on 21 Muḥarram 1300 AH at Qāḍī Sarka Raghunpurah in the district of Mahbubnagar, son of Qāḍī Muḥammad ʿUmar. The office of qaḍāʾ had been granted to his ancestor Qāḍī Shaykh Rafīʿuddīn by Awrangzēb ʿĀlamgīr.
