Prayer Rugs Guide

Prayer Rugs are small, portable carpets used primarily by Muslims during their daily prayers to provide a clean and isolated space for worship, regardless of the surrounding environment. Typically rectangular in shape, these rugs often feature a niche at the top, which represents the mihrab of a mosque and is pointed towards the Kaaba in Mecca during prayer. The designs on prayer rugs are usually symmetrical and richly decorated with geometric, floral, or abstract motifs, and they often incorporate specific religious symbols or architecture. Made from various materials including wool, cotton, and silk, prayer rugs are valued not only for their practicality but also for their spiritual significance and the meticulous artistry they display. They are deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of Muslims around the world, serving both as functional items and as objects of beauty.
