I found this during ramadan. I not sure if anyone posted it. But incase no one has here you go.


"...we bring you the Sajjadah 1426 Prayer Rug. Designed by Soner Ozenc, the Sajjadah 1426 (2005 in the Islamic calendar) is made using Electro Luminescent Phosphore Printing technology, which allows it to display various graphics and patterns directly on the surface. An embedded compass instructs the rug to glow more brightly as it is turned towards Mecca, allowing users to easily determine when they are facing exactly the right direction. So convergence triumphs once again, though now you have two Mecca-detecting devices to charge (along with your cellphone, natch)."



This is the Sajjadah 1426 illuminated prayer rug--->

Darling i'm sensing you don't like this modern rug?

Sister this modernization is very useful and helpful . Read this if you have time:


"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 – the direction towards which they should perform their prayers.

As one of the main aims of ‘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 ‘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."

Assalamu Alaikum

Sis I understand that it can be accurate in giving us the directions toward which direction of prayer, but if everyone has to count on a rug to do that for them sooner or later everyone will loose the knowledge of figuring it out themselves, then how will they be able to pass this human knowledge to others??

Also how much does something like this cost?? Is it fair if the those who can afford something like this to have one, while the poor are considered "not coordinated" with the Qibla as we are just because we have a very accurate rug?

I'm sure the Rasul peace be upon him had such a rug that had the same features correct?? not really so.

Just as the hijaabs are turning into a fashion statement, does prayer have to as well by which "rug" you have?
subhanallah

Also just out of curiousity, is the creator of this rug a muslim??

Sis to me this rug seems useful. With the huge buildings i often walk around in and I try to look for a place to pray .And when i find the a spot i sometimes loose my sense of direction. I know i've prayed in the wrong direction by mistake many times. Does that mean i'd buy this rug? . if it was affordable maybe , if not then probably not. Like shadow said it's very cool to look at;D . One more thing the times we live in now are very different for the prophet(phub) time. JUst becuase he didn't use it doesn't mean we shouldn't. Example--->THe prophet(phub) rode on camels. Yet we use cars and airplanes:?

Wow. It looks like something out of Terminator.

I bet I could easily afford to go on Hajj by myself before I'd be able to afford this 'rug' though. :p

I was thinking that as well, but I don't think it was made for actually praying on, i think it's just to look nice and show which direction the Ka'abah is.

Not sure on the price yet, most likely to be very expensive.

I agree with the other brothers in that it would effect concentration. I remember listening to a CD which had something mentioning 'technological prayer mats' and it was really quite expressive. I'll try and find it.

I dont care what you people say. This rug has to be the most coolest thing invented for the following reasons
a) it's illuminated - IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!
b) It's like a modern islamic thingy majig - MODERN AND ISLAM - surely that's gotta get SOME 'spect.
c) it's pretty much the coolest thing i've ever seen in my life, and I've seen many things, but nothing as bodacious as what I just witnessed.

Some of you asked what the cost of this is . Well apparently this product isn't being sold commerically yet, but they say it will be soon. you can contact info@sonerozenc.com for more information.fyi I'm not trying to advertise;D . it's just that it's really cool.

Some of you are also complaining about how this product would " effect concentration". Why would it be distracting? this rug glows in the dark. Flip on the lights:rollseyes

Out curiousity i emailed the designer our discussion.

and this was his reply from reading our comments.

"regarding
distraction of prayer and the cost.

1) Sajjadah 1426 aims to eliminate the traditional interface -ie analogue
compass, buttons etc... So that the interface becomes the illuminated patterns
themselves. However there is one CITY SELECTION BUTTON to tell the mat where
you are and one ON/OFF/COMPASS MODE button to tell the mat either to stay ON or
to turn OFF or to turn on the COMPASS function. As the user switches to COMPASS
mode, the illuminated patterns will change their brightness until the user
finds the Mecca direction and IT WILL SWITCH OFF within 5 seconds. So, the user
won t get distracted during the prayer. The user always has the freedom to turn
on/off the illuminated patterns.

2) With its added values and unique technology, Sajjadah 1426 is incomparable to
traditional prayer mats on the market. It is an ELECTRONIC product rather than
simply a textile product. So, the cost will eventually be higher than the ones
on the market. Very soon, we will have a clearer idea about the cost. You can
always visit www.sonerozenc.com to see the updates.

3) There will be 3 versions of Sajjadah 1426: one version which is battery
powered with compass function, one which is mains powered with compass function
and one which is mains powered without compass function. The latter version will
be cheaper as it doesn t incorporate a compass function -thus won t be able to
indicate the Mecca direction. But it is rather designed with a decoration
purpose in mind as it will appeal to users in night time -ie a night light
prayer mat wall-hanging.
"

salam guys.
