What is a phonetic prayer mat?
A phonetic prayer mat has every Arabic prayer word written in English letters directly on the mat — so you can pronounce and follow along without knowing how to read Arabic. MyNiyyah also includes step-by-step illustrations and a rakat counter for all 5 daily prayers.
Do I need to know Arabic?
Not at all. Every recitation is written phonetically in English. You can follow along from your very first prayer — no prior Arabic knowledge required.
How does the step-by-step guide work?
The mat walks you through all 12 steps of salah — from the opening Takbeer to the final Salaam. Each step shows the correct body position, the phonetic Arabic text, and a rakat counter so you always know where you are.
Is this mat suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. MyNiyyah is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to someone who just took their Shahada or is learning to pray. Beautiful, practical, and thoughtful.
Is the content religiously accurate?
Yes. Every recitation and step has been carefully verified for accuracy based on the authentic Sunnah, covering the standard prayer practiced by the majority of Muslims worldwide.
What material is the mat made from?
Premium flannel polyester top surface with 10mm foam interior and an anti-slip base to keep it firmly in place during prayer.
What size is the mat?
80 x 120 cm — comfortable for adults of all heights during all prayer positions.
How do I clean the mat?
Spot clean with a damp cloth for everyday use. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently with cold water and mild soap, then air dry flat. Do not machine wash.
