INCENSE

Arabic Bak͟hūr ( بخور‎ ), Lubān ( لبان‎ ). Heb. ‏לְבוֹנָה‎ , in Isaiah xliii. 23 , . The use of incense forms no part of the religious customs of the Muslim, although its use as a perfume for a corpse is permitted by the Traditions. It is, however, much used as an offering at the shrines of the Muḥammadan saints, and forms an important item in the so-called science of Daʿwah. [ DAʿWAH .]
