Packet I: Tossup 6

It’s not a flag, but one of these objects found at the Topkapi palace may be a forgery because of the word order “God, apostle, Muhammad” (10[1])instead of “Muhammad, apostle, God.” (-5[1])During the end times, a creature that emerges from the hills of Safa carrying the staff of Musa and one of these objects will use it to mark the noses of disbelievers. (-5[1])Muhammad describes himself as a missing house brick in a hadith that references his title as this type of object. (10[1]-5[1])The (-5[1])Beast (10[1])of the Earth (10[3]-5[1])will carry one of these objects that Solomon had once (-5[1])used (10[1])to command (10[2])the djinn. (10[12])A phrase (10[2]-5[2])referring to (10[1])Muhammad (10[1]-5[1])as this type of object “of the Prophets” (10[1])references (10[1]-5[1])his (10[2])status (10[2])as the last of them. (10[2]-5[3])For 10 points, (10[1])many Muslims (10[1])used carnelians to set what objects used to impress a wax (10[1])emblem (10[1]-5[1])into (10[1]-5[1])official (10[3]-5[2])correspondences? (10[3]-5[1]) (10[13]0[6])■END■
