My Sajada is very important to me because it is related to god. This carpet is decorated with a picture of Al Kaaba Al Sharifa(A link about kaaba)and is made from a very soft material. My family gave this to me, and I have many memories with my grandma and family as I learned how to pray. It is an important part of my culture and this tradition connects me to Tunisia. Following this tradition will allow me to have a close relationship with God. We use this prayer carpet in many Islamic celebrations like  Eid Al Adha , Aid Al Fitr, Ramadhan, and Mawled. Only Muslims can use this prayer carpet after Al Woudou and Al Salet. We use this carpet at any moment but there are five specific times. Al Fajr is optional but very appreciated by Allah (God). It must be performed before the sun rises or it is not accepted by God. Salat Sobh is after sunrise, Salat Dhuhr is the second prayer of the day and is offered at noon. This prayer comprises four obligatory rakats. Salat Asr is performed in the afternoon after the Dhuhr prayer and this prayer comprises four obligatory rakats. The Maghrib Salah should be offered at sunset,Maghrib Salah consists of three obligatory rakats. The fifth and the final Salah is named Isha it includes four obligatory rakats and every Friday and it is called Salat Al Joumou'a (Friday prayer.) These prayers can be said together as a family or individually. Either option is acceptable by Allah. Being Muslim and praying is an important part of me because we will have a close relation ship with God
