Sajjadah is a prayer rug is a small and portable carpet that Muslims put on the floor when they perform their prayers. Its main function is to provide a clean and isolated platform for the prayer. There is one thing they need to be careful about: the holy city of Mecca � the direction towards which they should perform their prayers.

Sajjadah 1426 Sajjadah 1426

'Sajjadah 1426' indicates the direction via the data coming from a compass module embedded inside it. The closer to the direction of Mecca it is turned, the brighter the patterns illuminate.

'Sajjadah 1426' enriches the praying experience with the illuminated patterns on its surface. The word 'sajjadah' is a Persian/Turkish word meaning 'prayer rug' and the number '1426' stands for '2005' in Islamic calendar.

    Yeah, but I use a rather plain one. Helps me concentrate on the prayer, not on the rug. This would drive me nuts.
