Are you looking for Innovative Islamic toys for your children? Today I am reviewing My Salah Mat – an Interactive prayer rug for children that we have fallen in love with. I’d like to talk about how it is helping my children LOVE to pray Salah even without reminding them!
Every Muslim Parent’s Struggle:
Teaching children to pray behind our backs doesn’t come easy. It is a struggle we all relate with. It takes perseverance, years of encouragement and gentle reminders before they learn that praying 5 times a day is a way of life for us Muslims.
Children need to be first taught to love prayer. But how do you teach your child to actually LOVE it if they aren’t even cooperating to pray on time?
The real truth is that our children are just too distracted these days. There is television, apps, phones and screens everywhere. The toys that they have aren’t really examples of model Muslim behavior are they? Also they don’t want to pray because hey, when you are that little, it takes a lot of will power to leave your play!
I know that it is not easy. I have children who I am training to pray 5 times a day too. It is a challenge to inculcate the love of Salah in our children
It started with a problem to solve: prayer is to be cherished, but for a child it can be hard to learn.
My Salah Mat is a product made by a parent, for other parents who have kids struggling to learn Salah. It is an interactive learning tool to introduce prayer in a fun and enjoyable way. The prayer Mat is fully interactive and touch-sensitive, with pre-recorded prayer times, instructions on how to do wudu, recite surahs, say duas, and much more.
It teaches children about the different times of salah, the various movements and positions, as well as what to say during them. The learning process is easy with My Salah Mat, as it will guide the user through two rakat of salah using a simple to understand format.
Give the gift of Salah; the first touchstone for kids to connect with their Deen.
