In many Eastern cultures, people honor holy texts with a decorative holder. One such holder is the Rehal, shaped like an X to provide stability and support. The Rehal usually rests on a wooden base but can come in various forms today. Often referred to as a Quran stand by Muslims, it also goes by the spelling of Rihal. This tradition dates back many years in South Asian and Arab countries, where families have passed it down through generations. People from these cultures typically use the Rehal for their respected scriptures: the Ramayana in Hinduism, Japji Sahib in Sikhism, and the Quran in Islam. During reading sessions, people display a sign of respect by using the Rehal. Nowadays, you can find modern designs that add beauty to your book-resting experience. Some Rehals include intricate decorations like an Islamic dome icon. This cultural item is still deeply ingrained in South East Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, as well as in Brunei and the Philippines. In many cases, these Eastern Rehal's are crafted from wood; however, it can be surprising that many are actually made from a sustainable tree known as "hivea brasiliensis", or commonly called rubber trees.
