My Salah Mat: A Proud Sponsor of Islamic Cultural Event 2024 in Bangladesh
It is with immense pride and joy that I share the exciting news that My Salah Mat will be a proud sponsor of the Islamic Cultural Event 2024, organised by the Islamic Society of Mohadevpur at the historic Dakbangla Ground in Naogaon, Bangladesh. Masha'Allah, this event is expected to draw over 5,000 attendees, offering a wonderful platform to celebrate the rich Islamic culture of Bangladesh.
As someone who was born in Bangladesh, this opportunity feels like a full-circle moment for me. I have always dreamed of giving back to the community that shaped my early years, and it fills my heart with gratitude to be able to do so now, through My Salah Mat. Alhamdulillah, I have had the privilege of developing the world’s first interactive prayer mat, which has even been granted a patent. This achievement is one I hold dear, as it combines my love for technology with my devotion to helping children enhance their prayer experience.
Recently, I had the opportunity to return to Bangladesh with my children. It was a deeply personal trip that allowed us to reconnect with our heritage, and I cannot express how meaningful it was to see my children immersed in the vibrant culture that shaped my own childhood. We enjoyed delicious traditional foods, spent quality time with family members (some of whom I hadn't seen in decades), and reflected on the importance of staying connected to our roots. It reinforced my belief in how vital it is for the younger generation to understand and embrace their cultural identity, and I hope to continue facilitating that connection through My Salah Mat.
Alhamdulillah, I am now working closely with the Welsh Government to explore how My Salah Mat can formally enter the Bangladeshi market. We are conducting important research through the ITD Project, which will provide us with invaluable insights into the needs of the local Islamic community. This research will help us understand how our product can better serve families in Bangladesh, and Insha'Allah, bring us closer to inspiring the next generation of Muslims.
Our partnership with Tawba IT, under the leadership of CEO Rasadul Islam, has been crucial in building our presence in Bangladesh. Masha'Allah, Rasadal’s dedication to growing the My Salah Mat brand has been remarkable, and I am confident that our collaboration will flourish for many years to come, Insha'Allah.
I look forward to sharing more updates about our journey in Bangladesh as My Salah Mat continues to inspire and connect Muslims across the world.
