Prayer+Rug



The prayer rug is important to the Islamic faith because Muslims take their communication to God very seriously. They believe that when they pray they are speaking directly to God, and that he must be treated with respect. The Prayer rug is a clean surface for the person praying to kneel down on. They are kneeling on a clean surface to please God who was a clean man that never dirtied himself with foul thoughts or actions. **This would be a better conclusion to the intro sentence in your first paragraph.
 * A prayer rug is an Islamic symbol of communication with God. It is a daily place of communication. Unlike the place of worship in Christianity and the place of worship in Judaism, the prayer rug is portable and is taken everywhere by its owner. The designs on the prayer rugs are unique in different ways. The genuinely hand crafted ones that were created over 100 years ago have distinct symbols in them and no two rugs are exactly the same. Though the prayer rugs are different they come off of the basic theme of a place of peace in the center of the rug. The centers of most prayer rugs have a depiction of the Garden of Paradise. This reminds Muslims that when they are praying they are in a safe peaceful place. **This paragraph needs more focus. You start by discussing communication and end with Garden of Eden.
