A travel prayer mat is a portable and compact version of a traditional prayer rug, specifically designed for Muslims on the go. Crafted from lightweight, durable materials like polyester or nylon, it often features a carrying case, strap, or folds into its own pouch for ultimate convenience. Despite its small packed size, it unrolls to a sufficient area for prayer and frequently includes a built-in compass (Qibla indicator) in its case to accurately determine the direction of Mecca. Its practical design ensures cleanliness and facilitates the observance of Salat anywhere, making it an essential item for spiritual practice while traveling, at work, or outdoors.
