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. With the specific patterns on its surface, it also aims to bring the atmosphere of a mosque to wherever they take it.
Muslims pray five times a day. The only product they need to perform their prayers is a prayer rug. And there is one thing they need to be careful about: the holy city of Mecca a” the direction towards which they should perform their prayers.
As one of the main aims of a~Sajjadah 1426′ was to emphasize the values of the patterns on the prayer rug, lighting those patterns up was considered as the main approach from the very first stages of the concept. There were several technology alternatives to achieve this effect: mini LEDs, fibre optics, EL wire embroidery and EL panel. After the experiments done, the most appropriate one turned out to be the Electro Luminescent Phosphore Printing technology. EL wire embroidery has also been explored during the research part and a~mini glow wire’ was ordered from the UK-based company Surelight Ltd.
‘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.

Sajjadah means kneeling down in prayer – in Arabic..
A wonderful product but a distracting experience..
Hmmmmm cant see this taking off, im happy with my $5 rug for the time being.
That’s pretty darn cool. Hmm…may make a great gift for my Muslim friends
that is awesome, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything Islamic like this ever hit the tech airwaves (minus the Qiblah phone)…
oh and sajjadah is Arabic for prayer rug, not Persian.
Ramadhan Mubarak to all the Muslims! haha.
And happy new year to all the Jews too.
It seems like a neat idea that it tells you when it’s pointing east, although from the pictures it doesn’t seem to have a front and back so you’re just as likely to end up pointing west, but don’t you press your head to the rug several times during prayer? It seems like it would get very annoying having a bright light shine in your eyes when you were trying to concentrate.
where can i buy this from and how much is it for
Assalamo Alaykom;
it’s wonderful thing i like it very well, i think it’s also an islamic success
good luck my brothers (Soner Özenç)
hi its more than wounderful i was just woundering if u sell it???
and how can i see it
hi can u send me more pics on my email its fantastic
that’s amaaaaaazing i love it
well, the idea that using compass and turned into right direction its great, but illuminated? I seems not interesting except, when I prayed in dark place, but that very rare, but i think the illumination in sajjadah when only we need light, how about that? 😀

it’s cool & helpful but the only thing I didn’t like is it’s so bright it could cause me a headache while praying & Ramadan Kareem 2 all of Muslims of my Oma’a
BTY Sajjadah is Arabic word
it would sell more with universal designs not just religious
I am still waiting for someone to tell us where to buy it please.
I wonder how bright the light is, that might be distracting while your making salat. Nice idea though.
i dont like that its a rug for you to pray on. shouldnt you be humble with your prayers?
Lights are to distracting, I think it is a terrible idea.
We would like to have a sample .
Thanks

Excellent idea tho need more option on product. Some people praying in the dark just like in the grave.Some people concern more to innovation to make others appreciate the world new product. More R&D works on these maybe can boom market internationaly.
No sir, they’re right.. ‘Sajjadah’ means a prayer mat or rug, but ‘Sajdah’ means what you’ve mentioned.

Where does the power to the rug come from?
Wouldn’t it makes your eyeballs hurt, since it’s extremely bright?
And whats the point of having a glowing prayer rug?
Such a stupid idea?
And, if it’s something that needs to be plugged in.. taking it to Mecca, doesn’t make any sense!
Because then everybody would bring one, and i dont think there would be enough outlets for all the attendees!
And, there would be too much light pollution, thus harming our environment( Birds get confused)!
Thanks
