Prayer Rug Designs - Islam

There are

5 important parts

to

Muslim worship.

Muslims believe that following the

'five pillars'

help them keep their religion properly.

The second important pillar is

PRAYER

(see: What is Islam? homework link for more information)

It is usual to have a small personal rug to kneel on during prayer in the Mosque at home or elsewhere.

We have been designing and making replica prayer rugs from

card trimmed with wool.

The colours and patterns have been inspired by traditional Islamic art which uses

calligraphy and pattern as decoration.

Muhammad

teaches about not drawing living things.
