Quote

Persian spatial culture is closely bound up with gardens as ‘built environments’, with precise landscape and architectural features, and is reflected in the production of carpets, from the grid-like Chahar Bagh ‘garden carpets’ to prayer rugs. Persian prayer rugs represent openings, doors and gateways towards the garden, featuring decorated arches supported by carefully designed columns, in which the foliage rooted in the ground connects symbolically to the sky.

Embarking on a Spiritual Voyage: The Magnificence of the Muslim Prayer Rug

In the world of Islamic spirituality, few objects hold as much reverence and significance as the Prayer Rug Muslim. This simple yet profound piece of fabric serves as a tangible link between the believer and the Divine, embodying centuries of tradition, symbolism, and spiritual devotion. Delving into the intricate beauty and spiritual depth of the prayer rug unveils a world of profound meaning and timeless wisdom.

A Tapestry of Tradition:

The history of the prayer rug is steeped in tradition, dating back to the early days of Islam. Originally woven by skilled artisans using natural fibers and dyes, prayer rugs were crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often featuring intricate geometric patterns and motifs. Over time, the art of rug weaving became deeply intertwined with Islamic culture, with each region producing its unique styles and designs.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance:

At its core, the prayer rug serves as a sacred space for Muslims to engage in Salah, the ritual act of prayer. When laid out on the ground, the rug becomes a symbol of the mihrab, the niche in the mosque that indicates the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca. Facing the Qiblah, believers stand upon the rug, their hearts and minds focused on the divine presence as they perform their prayers.

Journey of the Soul:

Beyond its functional role in prayer, the prayer rug symbolizes the spiritual journey of the believer. As one stands upon the rug, they are transported from the mundane to the sublime, from the material world to the realm of the spirit. With each prostration and bow, they draw closer to the divine presence, transcending the limitations of the physical realm and entering into a state of pure spiritual communion.

Cultural Heritage and Artistry:

Throughout history, prayer rugs have served as expressions of cultural heritage and artistic expression. From the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of Persian rugs to the geometric symmetry of Turkish carpets, each rug reflects the unique aesthetic sensibilities of its creators. Passed down through generations, these rugs become cherished heirlooms, carrying with them the stories and traditions of their makers.

A Source of Comfort and Reflection:

In times of joy and sorrow, the prayer rug serves as a source of comfort and solace for Muslims around the world. Whether in the quiet solitude of the home or the bustling atmosphere of the mosque, believers find refuge upon the soft embrace of the prayer rug. Here, amidst the gentle sway of fibers and the intricate patterns, they find a moment of peace and reflection in the midst of life's challenges.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the prayer rug stands as a testament to the beauty and depth of Islamic spirituality. Woven into its fabric are centuries of tradition, symbolism, and devotion, inviting believers to embark on a journey of prayer and contemplation. As one stands upon the prayer rug, they are reminded of their connection to the divine and the timeless wisdom of their faith. Truly, the prayer rug is not merely an object of adornment but a sacred vessel that carries the soul on its journey toward spiritual enlightenment and transcendence.

On the pleasant shore of the French Riviera, about half way between Marseilles and the Italian border, stands a large, proud, rose-colored hotel. Deferential palms cool its flushed facade, and before it stretches a short dazzling beach. Lately it has become a summer resort of notable and fashionable people; a decade ago it was almost deserted after its English clientele went north in April. Now, many bungalows cluster near it, but when this story begins only the cupolas of a dozen old villas rotted like water lilies among the massed pines between Gausse's Hotel des Etrangers and Cannes, five miles away.

The hotel and its bright tan prayer rug of a beach were one. In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows. Before eight a man came down to the beach in a blue bathrobe and with much preliminary application to his person of the chilly water, and much grunting and loud breathing, floundered a minute in the sea. When he had gone, beach and bay were quiet for an hour. Merchantmen crawled westward on the horizon; bus boys shouted in the hotel court; the dew dried upon the pines. In another hour the horns of motors began to blow down from the winding road along the low range of the Maures, which separates the littoral from the true Provencal France.

Green Ground Group B Ghiordes Prayer Rug

ORIGIN Anatolia

PERIOD Circa 1750

“Here we have another type of floral border, decorated by a motif called elmali (‘apple’ in Turkish) which appear to me more as a pair of pomegranates connected to a sickle leaf. It too belongs to Group B, with all of the ivories being in cotton, although here are used as accents rather than as a background. I am especially fascinated by the colour contrast between the moss green of the niche and the light turquoise shade of the field, which can be seen clearly in the spandrels. The latter are embellished by a very unusual, dynamic motif which imparts an upwards dynamics to the composition. I certainly understand why these rugs were so passionately collected by the generation of James Ballard, Joseph McMullan and many others.”( http://www.rugrabbit.com/content/prayer)

Mezquitas de Puerto Rico is an ongoing collaboration between Alia Farid and Jesús "Bubu" Negrón on the representation of Islam in the Caribbean. Renderings/depictions have so far resulted in a series of prayer rugs of mosques in the Puerto Rican towns of Hatillo, Vega Alta, Fajardo, Rio Piedras, and Ponce, and postcards of the same places. For the carpet-kilims series, the mosques were photographed in the spring of 2013 and later interpreted by weavers from Mashhad, Iran.
