Why do Muslims use a Prayer mat or rug? Many times when a Muslim is at work, traveling or even at home, he needs to make sure that his musallah (prayer space) is clean. The best way to do that is with a dedicated prayer rug, something that is only used for salaat and nothing else; that way his or her place of prostration is not complicated with dirt or other things which might cause distraction or discomfort. The patterns of a prayer rug should be calming and should not distract the worshipper from his salaat. The texture of the sajada (Arabic word for a prayer mat) should be soothing so that the worshipper is able to better focus on salaat. If the sujood (prostration) is comfortable then it allows for a longer time in this position, which is considered to be the superior position of prayer. The Muslim prayer rug is not a holy object or a sacred thing, it is a way that Muslims bring extra comfort and ease to the daily rituals of salaat.
