Balban believed in divine kingship. He considered himself as the deputy of God on Earth. His court was organised on the patterns of the Persian royal court. Nobody could even dare to smile in his court. He introduced the Persian custom of 'Sijdah' or prostration before the king and 'Paibos' or kissing the feet of the King. Orthodox Muslims were against these customs and hence they opposed these customs but they were helpless as Balban was very powerful.

Answer:
sijdah means bowing down and touching your head to show salutations and paibos is you kiss the feet of the ruler to show respet.
