‘religion’ to read certain prayers.
When importuning God during a difficult situation, a promise is made to God which is to be carried out later if God should
see the person through his difficulty. Most often, a promise is made to call in an imam to read ritual prayers, which when completed, fulfills the obligation. A baljanjih is also considered as giving thanks to God.
If I arrive at my place, I shall have prayers read [from the Baljanjih ].
If I get home safely, I shall have prayers read from the Baljanjih .
