A salah mat, also known as a prayer rug, is a piece of fabric used by Muslims during their daily prayers, or salah. It provides a clean and designated space for worship, helping to maintain focus and respect during the prayer ritual. Salah mats often feature intricate designs and patterns, reflecting cultural and artistic traditions. Typically rectangular, a salah mat is usually made from soft materials to ensure comfort while kneeling and prostrating. Many mats are portable, allowing worshippers to carry them easily for prayers in various locations, whether at home, in a mosque, or while traveling.
