Mosque carpets, also known as prayer carpets or prayer rugs, are specialized carpets used in places of worship, mosques, for the purpose of prayer. 

Mosque carpets are typically designed with intricate patterns and motifs, often featuring geometric shapes or floral designs.  The carpets are intended to provide a clean and comfortable surface for Muslims to perform their prayers. They also serve to create a sense of unity and reverence among worshippers, as everyone lines up in rows on the carpet facing the same direction during prayer.

In larger mosques, these carpets may cover the entire prayer area, while in smaller prayer spaces or homes, smaller prayer rugs are used. Mosque carpets are typically made of high-quality materials like wool, silk, or synthetic fibers, and they are often handwoven or machine-made.

The care and maintenance of mosque carpets are taken seriously, as they are considered sacred items. Regular cleaning and preservation efforts are made to ensure they remain in good condition and continue to serve their purpose for generations to come.
