How does the My Salah Mat interactive prayer mat work?

1. First, Push Out The Creases In The My Salah Mat With Your Hands. Each Part Of The Prayer Mat Is Touch-Sensitive, From The Keys Around The Mat To The Positions In Prayer (Feet, Knees, Chin, Hands And Head), So A Crease Or Fold Will A-Ect The Touch Sensitive Motion

2. The Prayer Mat Has Been Designed To Be Used By Children From Age 3 To 10 Years; Therefore It Goes From A Very Basic Level Of Understanding Of Salah To A More Advanced Level For A 10 Year Old.

3. If The Prayer Mat Is Being Used By A 3 Year Old, It May Be More Suitable For Them To Be Introduced To Understanding The Positions Of The Prayer Rst, That Is, Where To Place The Feet, Hands Head, Nose And So On.

4. For A 3 Year Old, It May Not Be Suitable For Them To Go Through The Entire Salah As They Will Not Understand This, And They May Get Bored And Leave Half Way Through. It Is Important Not To Force Them, But To Let Them Learn At Their Own Pace.

5. The Prayer Mat Has Been Designed As An Aid For Parents And Children To Use And Help In The Performing Of Salah. We Designed And Made This Prayer Mat So That Parents Would Be The Rst People In Their Children’s Lives To Teach Them Salah. Also, So That Children Will Love Performing Salah And Not See It As A Boring Activity. We Hope To Help Children Love Salah.

 In this video we demonstrate how the Interactive prayer mat works

1. Make Sure There Are No Creases In The Salah Mat And Ensure It Is At.

2. When You Stand On The Feet Pads And The Salah Starts To Recite, All Other Keys Around The Prayer Mat Will Not Work. This Is The Design, Because If A Child Is Praying And Another Child Pushes A Key, This Will Disturb The One Praying.

3. When You Stand On The Feet Pads For More Than 3 Seconds, The Salah Will Begin With Allahu Akbar, Followed By Al’fatiha, Surah Ikhlas, And Then Ruku.

4. After Ruku It Will Stop And Nothing Will Happen Until The Child Or Person Praying Places Their Knees, Hands And Head Together In The Sujood Position. There Must Be Clear Pressure On Each Position In Order For It To Work.

5. When All 3 Parts Are Touched, It Will Play Subhaana Rabbiyal A’alaa. Make Sure The Hands Put Some Pressure On The Mat, As We Have Found That Some Children Do Not Put Enough Pressure.

6. After It Plays Subhaana Rabbiyal A’alaa It Will Stop, And Nothing Will Happen Until The Child Takes Their Head And Hands O- The Mat, At Which Point It Will It Will Recite Allahu Akbar.

7. The Child Will Sit In Julus Position, Then After 3 Seconds It Will Say Allahu Akbar. Then The Child Will Go Back Into Sujood, And When The Knees, Hands, Head Are Placed Correctly, It Will Say Subhaana Rabbiyal A’alaa. After It Recites This 3 Times, The Child Should Lift Up Their Head And Hands To Go Back To The Standing Position, When It Will Say Allahu Akbar.

8. When Standing Again, After 3 Seconds It Will Start To Recite Al’fatiha, Then Surah An Nas, Then Back To Ruku.

9. After Ruku, Again, Nothing Will Happen Until The Child Goes Back Into Sujood, When The Knees, Hands And Head Must Be Placed Correctly With Some Pressure.

10. At This Point It Will Again Recite Subhaana Rabbiyal A’alaa.

11. After Sujood Twice, This Time The Child Should Sit Down In The Julus Position. The Child Needs To Make Sure The Sitting Part Feels Pressure, And After 3-4 Seconds It Will Recite Tashahhud, Then Salawat, And Then Salaam.

12. Your 2 Rak’ah Touch Sensitive Prayer Is Complete.

13. Your Child May Need To Practice And Be Shown The Movements By An Adult A Few Times, And Then They Will Be Able To Practice On Their Own Insha’allah.
