It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

The main feature of this phenomenon is taking refuge in God or a supernatural being, glorifying him and expressing his helplessness in front of him, etc. to perform certain behaviors with emotions. The worship of pilgrimage, which means visiting the holy places for religious purposes, has had an important place in belief systems throughout history. Hajj is one of the basic conditions of Islam. This worship started with Abraham inviting people to Mecca for pilgrimage and determining the practices in the pilgrimage and has survived to the present day. The phenomenology of religion is a branch of science that studies the sacred, the forms of worship and rites of religions, the sacred space, time, objects and persons. As a field of this science, phenomenology of worship examines the phenomenon of worship in religions.
