My Salah Mat is an interactive prayer mat which targets the children who are of the age of learning Salah and the actions that need to be performed whilst offering it. It makes learning easy.

How it works?
With the help of touch sensors, as soon as you put both your feet, the mat recognizes the pressure and starts the first step of Salah i.e Neyat (intention), followed by Surah Fateha, which is the first chapter of The Holy Quran. The same process is carried out throughout the salah till the completion of two rakats.
