Just keep in mind that you have to pray without getting distracted and a name on a prayer mat might distract someone, so although nothing is wrong with it, do keep that in mind.

[@mariambangura605]

That's my thoughts. Coz sometimes I heard advices a clothes with letters /words are not okay to put on when you want to pray not for anything else rather than the distraction its may cause you or those praying behind you. Note: prayers need devoted concentration

It could be super small that’s not distraction.

[@drWASD]

@@HarisPeco I mean, there is nothing saying you can't. If there was, so be it, I'll avoid it, like eating with left hand is openly and clearly dishonored. If you are doing sujood intending to worship the name, then that is an issue. If there was a face, then that's an issue, as we can't pray to a face. But the sheikh having more knowledge than both of us (unless you are an 'aalim or a sheikh yourself, which if you are, I will leave this discussion) said that it is ok. I think we should follow what he said rather than what our heart feels. If your heart feels that it is incorrect, go ahead don't do it, but don't think of it as haram. If you have some evidence saying that there shouldn't be a name on a place of sajdah, please go forth with it. And Allah knows best.

No exactly these discussions are the nuances and fine details that only knowledgeable scholars can address.

[@mujtabaraisani7376]

akhi this is the islam lol. i mean the others you have been used to are either innovation or misconception so when you are learning the real islam you tihnk like this bcz you have not been exposed to this earlier. its not a sin if u had no knowledge about it but now ya do so do your best. with time you will naturally adjust. there's no hard or easy way in Islam. Islam is simple and concise; if something is in the Islamic law (quran/sunah) then it is from Islam whether we like it or not, all we have to decide is how we can apply it in our lives. Ofc we will fail in our trying but our effort to adher to the sunnah should never stop.

[@Stranger5808]

Don’t be scared cause only Allah will judge you. When you become familiar with the religion then start looking at the rules. Again, don’t do anything that are haram and easy for you to avoid. Take your time and get rid of the haram things when you can. I am not a sheikh but I do have some knowledge about my deen and I am still learning. I would recommend you to follow the basic rules for now until your iman/faith is strong. May Allah keep you on the right path.

[@thehomelessproject3784]

Don't be scared, InshaAllaah, things will come in time... islam is a way of life.. that is why we have so many rules as it governs every aspect... Allah will reward you for your efforts...

InshaAllaah May Allah increase your resolve and guide us all to the straight path Aameen

[@Theerevert]

Relax. Allah Azzawajal is the all knowing and All seeing sister/ brother. Do you not think He knows we are still babies learning how to crawl? That He expects us to wake up the day after our shahada knowing everything there is possibly to know about Islam?He will not punish us for what we do not know. You are overwhelming your self. Make duah that Allah azzawajal keeps you upright on the righteous path, eases your journey, grants you knowledge and guides your deen. Focus on solidifying your salah, learn the pillars, learn what invalidates it etc etc and then spread out a bit. May Allah grant you ease in your hardships and blesses you for your efforts (:

[@Justandfair2392]

In some masaajid the carpets are filled with dust and people with allergies cannot breath in all that dust so they put their own mat on to avoid sneezing and getting uncomfortable disturbing their own and others salaah!

Question he didn't answer. What if the name is a prophets name on it. The name of the mat will be on the floor. Is it permissable? Remember Muhammad Ali Hall of fame he said to not put it on the floor. That's the question I'd like answered

[@ZB-esque]

But a lot of names, especially Arabic names may have sacred meaning. If you put names on the floor... I feel weird about that. E.g. Abdul Karim etc, it's a sacred name that you're putting on the floor. Surely that's not allowed. But if your name means something like "hope" or "bright" then it's different

[@aatifazahoor]

May be you should stop writing your name on exam paper too…stop it guys Islam isn’t too harsh and if this was the condition sheikh would have said it but he said there is nothing wrong with it so I guess you should stop misleading people

[@ZB-esque]

@@aatifazahoor I follow the Hanafi school of thought. My mother always taught me "don't put Allah's name on the floor" and thats what I meant by my comment. I'm not trying to mislead anyone by my statement. Anways. I've copied some statements that I found that kinda support my point of view. See below. " وَمَنْ يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ And whoever venerates that which Allah has sanctified, it is certainly from the piety of hearts. (Surah al-Haj, 22). If the name is printed at the place of Sajdah, then this is something which is best avoided. However, if it is elsewhere like in the corner, then in itself there is no issue with it. Unless your name contains the name of Allah (Most High), such as Abdullah, Abd al-Rahmaan or something else that we hold to be sacred (e.g. names of prophets). In this case, it may be considered to be a lack of Adab and thus Makruh. Some Hanafi scholars mentioned that it is Makruh to spread a sheet on the ground if it contains the name of Allah (Most High). بِسَاطٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ يُكْرَهُ بَسْطُهُ وَاسْتِعْمَالُهُ إلَّا إذَا عُلِّقَ لِلزِّينَةِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ لَا يُكْرَهَ It is Makruh to spread or use a sheet or the like that has ‘the dominion is for Allah’ written on it. However it if it is hung up for the purpose of beautification then it should not be considered Makruh. (Imam Ibn Nujaym, al-Bahr al-Raiq). Although this maybe open to opinion and interpretation if one has his own name on the floor, which happens to contain the Holy Name of Allah (Most High), it is still best avoided since the Dhahir (apparent) meaning of the text will include this within the Karahah (dislike). If such a name were to be printed close to the feet on the prayer mat (Musalah) then it is clearly disrespectful and thus prohibited, so must be avoided. And Allah (Most High) Knows best. - Answered by Shaykh Noorud-deen (09.02.2021) "

I studied religion for over 16 years specifically Islam because many of my friends were so called Muslims always Talk about the importance but never implement making me wonder if it was so important or true they would not do the things Islam portrays as forbidden ofc bearing in my mind the understanding of free will and Shaytan’s influence and so fourth anyway each to their own who am I to judge but I read and dissected the Quran in extreme depth with true open mind in hopes of becoming a muslim I wanted to so bad quite literally and be initially closer to god but unfortunately as biased as I was in favour of Islam I found way to many inconsistencies, illogical ideologies and errors some parts beautiful don’t get me wrong I can’t take that away but a lot contradicts and very harsh many errors that are slowly now with state of the art technology and intelligence proving to be wrong or incorrect and many scientific theories, discoveries and scenarios from other books and religions before the Quran one of them being the Greek theology I just didn’t want to believe its true because I was convinced and in hopes I will be Muslim eventually but I kept finding inconsistencies bare in mind I wasn’t blindsided or felt I owed anything to the community of Islam I was being fair. Statistics was revealed 75%+ of Muslims who are not Arabic recite and learn to read the Quran in Arabic but not knowing what they are reading, not sure how much of it is true I could not find the source or reference in detail so forgive me if this is wrong. It’s just a norm to go to a madrasah or masjid and recite what they are told to do, so I think a lot of people who are born muslim don’t know the terms and conditions and just do cause of the sake of what they’re parents and forefathers have said and passed down over generations and if you do otherwise you are bad, shameful or a disgrace to the family. A lot of children live in fear for this particular reason not understanding the religion but more traditional fears. And even if born Muslim and come to an adult age and make a decision Islam has flaws or you don’t feel it’s right for you, you can be killed hated or kicked out your family or community and be very disliked hence why many if not majority of Muslims who don’t agree with Islam at a later or adult age fear to leave or tell anyone so they do in secret. Majority not all of Muslims don’t pray five times a day but think they are being muslims for being born a muslim and not eating pork cause forefathers said and continue to do whatever they want but just Muslim by name I would say more people in Islam like this than more people who follow it properly. The religion contradicts saying equality and speak highly of woman but in many cases it says otherwise one of many examples is a Man can marry 4 wives or marry a woman of the Book Christian or Jew or Muslim but a woman can only marry one even if she is smart a provider not marrying for countless kids or if her husband is abusive whatever the scenario might be and also a woman cannot marry people of the book but a man can because a man is deemed as the provider even though in this day and age woman are having a breakthrough and happen to be very intelligent and earning more than men in a lot of countries. These are examples of just a needle in a haystack they’re are so many examples as how the Quran was based on Sharia Law which in this day and age would look like ancient medieval rather illogical rules and regulations. No one can tell 1400 years ago when a 6 year old girl has now officially reached Pubity and can now have intercourse when the grown male in his 50’s that is inhumane and very sickening to how someone of that age would take such advantage of such a child and get married and have intercourse with them while already having 12 wives. The Quran is said to be a guide for ALL TIMES in mankind this is one of many that cannot run today or is very unsafe damaging and absolutely dangerous for the child and I can’t imagine any parent being happy with this. I can see why other religions alter or improvise because these ancient rules seems out of this planet in this day and age. Don’t be bias or think wrongfully but you tell me if all this feels ethical considerate or godlike. Anyway Imagine your in your 50s You see what power does when you are the prophet (pbuh) can have, kill, invade and do anything you like, interesting. But anyway hope everyone is a good human and does the right thing. Theatrics being used in the context of the Quran, to me, clearly means to make a mockery of or joke of the Quran. It says nothing about music being haram. This is your interpretation, and it's completely unnecessary. About the believers it also says that allah has drawn a veil over the eyes of disbelievers and that they will never see the truth. So as far as I'm concerned; allah created me, chose for me not to believe; and has decided to also punish me for it. I have read the Quran countless times. Granted I don't speak Arabic. It's not a great book. It's full of inconsistencies. In one verse he says that anyone can repent but in another it says only some are granted that luxury. Allah supposedly created me. He presupposed everything, I somehow also have free will (despite nothing going against allahs will or plan) and he knows me better than I know myself. Option 1: he created me destined for hellfire Option 2: he knows my disbelief is sincere (as he knows every truth of my being) and has either decided to still punish me, or not show the sign. The Quran says only believers will be shown the truth. Well what good is that if you already believe. It's like me saying you'll only believe me once you already believe everything I say is true. I understand the importance of dawah and invitation but it’s becoming difficult with these inconsistencies very confusing book It's self fulfilling stupidity. I know all muslims in the comments will say I’m stupid influenced by liberalism (which I am definitely not ac quite against the western ideology) Shaytan influenced or not invited by god himself and so fourth ofc please be fair don’t be brainwashed or blindsided I love people with religion good for you respect everyone who chooses to reside with a religion if its right for you and makes you sleep at night I’m happy for you I am happy with my life and live with peace and wish good upon all. The most successful or so called intelligent or revolutionary are majority non Muslim individuals just a food for thought you may ask why this may be I might be wrong just my opinion but Islam makes it very difficult for you to be deemed super successful or intelligent in this life/world other than the topic ‘Islam’ hence why muslims don’t see or want to see the world any other way other than Islam. Cant and don’t want to question look elsewhere, compare or even identify flaws just the unspoken you can not, told it’s right and cant look elsewhere from forefathers and from the ever growing stats of Muslims and harsh islamic community who I call the most judgmental and oppressive community, you do something not based on Islam they will criticise ofc Islam told them to Islam’s main job is to give dawah and invite to the religion expand the community, one thing Muslims have excelled in and stuck with is the base of the religion, it is strong and people stick with it and genuinely fear otherwise that alone is one of the most attractive reasons unlike other religions. We shall see on the day we get judged to see if we go to the doom of hell fire and endless dragons and snakes or whatever scary stuff that may be or gold private jets and unlimited women of heaven and alcohol with a blink of a thought. Im gonna believe just incase it’s true but I’m still yet to see any strong evidence or anything with my own eyes apart from a preserved book and stories from 140 decades ago which has stories theories and ideology remarkably very similar to other rules and regulations, books and religions that has come long before the quran, Greek theology being one example information extracted. Blindsided. Few of the many reasons why these rules and regulations can jeopardise Muslims seeking knowledge or being really successful or intelligent. - Interest is Haram or risky business we know risk amplifies chances and attempts to try ventures to reap rewards in this day and age - taking pictures or associating with pictures is haram - music is haram - you have to be wary of what you wear have to dress a certain way - woman being uncomfortable working or associating amongst men - not treating certain individuals the same or like associating with gay people - relationships outside marriages - alcohol or tobacco - praying 5 times a day at peak business times throughout the day regardless - it is haram to Acquire knowledge only for worldly gain or concealing knowledge (2:159) He who learns for secular purposes or not for Allah's sake, would settle down on his place in Hell. Interesting - Allah is angry at a woman and angels curse her till the next morning if she REFUSES to get into bed with her husband (4: 34) no context for visa versa but very interesting. Any we continue - Men wearing silk or gold is haram in islam - Have to chant in the name of god I cut this meat or kill this animal before eating it otherwise it is not acceptable - If ones slave escapes his master, his prayer will not be accepted. - You dont even have the right to question or think to question your belief as that is forbidden and based on Sharia Law can be stoned to death. I see how Islam is absolutely strong and feared. These are just to name a few of so many. Best structure and strategy of a ever growing community/religion to date. Ofc other than Christianity which is much larger group than Islam but nonetheless both fairly similar.
