What are prayer mat, and why it is important in Islam?

LONDON - July 2, 2014 - PRLog -- What is Islam?

First of all, it is important to know that what Islam actually is? Islam is the religion of Allah Almighty, which shows us the right way to go; it helps us to choose the right path, which is Sirat-UL-Mustaqeem (the right way).

Main things of Islam:

There are just five main things in Islam, which are also known as the five basic pillars of Islam. It is well known by everyone that what are the importance of Pillars, let’s describes what these are:

        I.          The first one is the Shahadah (to believe in only one Allah, and believe that He is the creator of the world, no one except him)

      II.          The second one is the Prayers (to perform prayers five times in a day in front of Allah Almighty)

    III.          The third one is the Sawm (Sawm means to keep fasting during the Holy and the sacred month of Ramadan, it is essential for every Muslim to keep fasting)

    IV.          The fourth one is the Zakat (Zakat means to give charity, it is the fourth pillar because it is necessary for those who has enough wealth, charity is given to the poor so that they can enjoy their life as well as we are)

      V.          The last pillar is the Hajj (Hajj means the pilgrimage, it is necessary for the people at least once in their life duration by http://www.cheapumrahpackage.org.uk/ )

These are the basic factors of Islam, and necessary for every Muslim to follow it.

Importance of prayers:

Prayers are very important for every Muslim, this is the 2^ND Factor of Islam and must be followed, and otherwise we will not be remaining Muslim. It is like a roll call or attendance in a school, if we don't go properly, then our name will be deleted from the attendance sheet. At the time of Hajj all the Muslims performed prayers in the form of congregation by http://www.cheapumrahpackages.org/umrah-packages-birmingh...

Importance of mats during prayers:

Mats are very important to perform prayer, it is because, the Holy rituals are used in prayers, and the most important thing is, everything must be cleaned, the place, the clothes of the Muslim and other things like that. Two types of mats:

       I.          Hand woven

     II.          Tree Bark

Hand woven is made from the pure threads like silk, it is often used in the houses of the Muslims, and the Tree bark is used mostly in the Holy mosques or some joint prayers. It is harder than hand woven. The Muslims brothers should have to perform prayers in the form of congregation by following an Imam of the mosque, but the Muslims sisters are not allowed to follow the Imam or perform prayers as a congregation. Muslim women should have to perform Namaz in the four walls of their own houses. Muslim men and women cannot perform prayers together. It is not allowed in Islam, although, if a woman passed near by the performer then his prayers will be makrooh. http://www.cheapumrahpackages.org/best-umrah-packages.php will tell you about the real meaning of Islam.
