A zebibah (Arabic: "raisin"), also known as a zabiba or zebiba, or prayer bump, is a callus on the forehead present in some Muslims, mainly in Egypt. Owing to its societal significance it is also known as the devout sign. It is a result of the friction generated by repeated contact of the forehead with the prayer mat during daily prayers.
