C
Candle
D
Prayer Book
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(The established way of folding hands is) to hold the hands by the hands in prayer below the navel. Book 2, Number 0758: Narrated Tawus: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) used to place his right hand on his left hand, then he folded them strictly on his chest in prayer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Just as it is Sunnah to clasp the hands and not let them hang by one’s sides, it is proven that they are to be placed in the chest, not elsewhere. As for the hadeeth “It is Sunnah to place one hand over the other beneath the navel when praying”, the scholars are agreed that it is da’eef (weak).

Detailed explanation-3: -prayer, an act of communication by humans with the sacred or holy-God, the gods, the transcendent realm, or supernatural powers. Found in all religions in all times, prayer may be a corporate or personal act utilizing various forms and techniques.
