Prayer mats are for more than just easing the knees when praying. They hold a much more significant post in the ritual of prayer, and are very necessary when it comes to the activity. And because you use them all the time as a muslim, it is important to get quality ones that will not wear out in little time. In the Islamic religion, prayers are said at least five times a day. It is more than just a piece of rug where you kneel to ease pressure on the knees when you pray. One of the most important requirements for any Muslim prayer is that the area must be clean. Islamic prayer time sees a lot of bowing, kneeling and prostrating and this must be done in a clean environment. Prayer mats, otherwise known as prayer rugs also create an isolated space for a Muslim to pray, which is also a requirement for an Islamic prayer. The prayer mat is usually lain on the ground in a way that the top points in the direction of Mecca, and is folded up and kept till the next use immediately after prayer, to ensure that it is kept clean. Prayer mats come in a variety of colors. Most of them can be plain colors, but they are usually decorated or designed in mostly geometric or Arabic designs to depict popular Islamic landmarks, like places in Mecca or Jerusalem. The mats are designed in a way where there is a top, and a bottom. The top, as earlier mentioned is placed to face the direction of prayer, or of Mecca, and the bottom of the mat is where the user stands to pray. Prayer mats can also come in floral designs, and are suitable for men and women alike.
