Prayer oil is often made from vegetable oil (like palm oil or vegetable ghee) with added extracts or rosins for aroma.  They are often colored to help know how much is applied to the candle.  Red is the color for happiness.\nUnlike a scented candle or joss stick, a prayer candle can be consecrated and then used with different oil for different purposes, like to promote health, prosperity, tranquillity, etc.  Prayer oil is also used in lamps.  Especially during holiday celebrations.  See some references below:

The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. It's also responsible for controlling imagination and creativity so the answer to your ? is yes. South-paws tend to be more creative and intuitive. I don't know so much about brilliant, though. Many of the greatest minds throughout history were housed in right-handed bodies.

It's usually the left.  I think Greek Orthodox wear it on the right.

Buddhists don't have their own language ! It's a religion ! Most will bow when meeting another person. Sometimes with the palms of the hands together in front of them. It's a sign of respect for the other person.

I always get on from the left.  It's where the kick-stand is, so it has nothing to do with being a righty or lefty.  It is also the side I get in to drive my car (not in the UK) and the appropriate side to get on a horse.  Seeing a trend here?  ...and I'm right-handed

however this hadith is false. The author of this flyer ridicules this hadith. He considers this one of the “foolish and false statements” of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). \n\nthis is the false statement..\n"“When any of you wakes up from his sleep and makes ablution, let him clean his nose three times, because Satan/devil stays at night at the upper part of his nose.”

They do but it is unusual. In some countries and religions it is considered `unclean' and very against the faith so it is definately not the norm. If you are uncomfortable with it do not do it!

OOOOOH! That's an insult. The left hand side is considered unclean in the Middle East, hearkening back to times when water was scarce, and your left hand probably was literally unclean. If they're a right handed person, there is no reason whatsoever that they'd offer you their left hand if they had any respect for you.

I thought it was a smoker who holds his/her cigarette in the right hand then shifts it to the left after it is lit.  It would be the opposite for right handed people since it is easier for them to light a match or Bic with the right hand.  Then I discovered that there actually is such a thing as a "left handed smoke shifter" as detailed in the link.

For sure, it is a common practice among Indonesian Moslem men, for religious reasons.\nIt is also practiced (although not as many) among Indonesian men of other religions, for health reasons.

I'm left handed too but I use both depending on the situation.  If i sit next to a right handed person who is to my left, then i use my right so i am not bumping into them

Because most people are right handed and your right hand is more away from you heart so as to let your brain make your decision, not your heart.May God bless......

Well its symbolic and it is for the unity of Muslims so that they don't get confused  in praying and should be praying to one point. secondly Mecca is in the mid point of the  world  so  easy for anyone to face that  and pray. Well the prayers are answered even if one go somewhere and could'nt find out the right direction and had  prayed  in some wrong direction . In the beginning there was some confusion about which direction one should pray , so to make it easy Allah has ordered to pray towards Macca.its just for the ease of muslims. Yes its ordered in Quran.\nQuran 2:144\n"Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn then your face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your face towards it, and those who have been given the Book most surely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not at all heedless of what they do
