Finally, here is a DUA book that packs many DUAs that you will need for your life's various situations. These include DUAs that ask Allah for the ease of one's difficulties, blessings for self and family, increase in Rizq (life's provisions), relief from anxiety and calmness in hearts and many more. This book contains specially selected DUAs (invocations and supplications to Allah) that are suitable for asking Allah for relief from burdens and difficulties and asking for success and happiness in this life and the hereafter. These DUAs are taken both from the Quran and Hadith of the Prophet (sallal-lahu Alaihi wasallam).

Islamic prayer rugs have not been studied as frequently in scholarly research as compared to other Middle Eastern decorative carpets. Yet, for centuries, they have been traded by Muslims and non-Muslims across the world and some become collection/museum items in secular settings. Thus, prayer rugs are multifunctional and are more than merely an Islamic prayer implement. I conclude that prayer rugs hold agency and link various worlds due to their motifs, usages, and mobility. In terms of agency, I draw on materiality theory which highlights objects as not passive and that they possess a dialectic relationship with humans. I examine eighteenth and nineteenth century Turkish sajjada prayer rugs (prayer rugs intended for the use of one person while praying) from the Arthur D. Jenkins collection at The Textile Museum and the James F. Ballard collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. From the woven motifs, links are created between false dichotomies. Recurrent prayer rug motifs such as niche symbols, candles and lamps, floral imagery, and geometric patterns refer to Islamic ideologies. As a result, the profane, real, and material world is connected to the sacred, idealized, immaterial world. Connections between the human body, cardinal directions and idealized beliefs are further established during prayer usage. Even from mobility such as trade, these sacred objects bridge together false dichotomies, individuals and transform people. Therefore, the prayer rug and human relationship is dialectic not dichotomous. Depending on usage, these objects can likewise go in between religious or secular spheres. This is unlike other Middle Eastern decorative carpets and other rugs. By applying the concept of materiality and adding more awareness to prayer rugs, this research helps show that they influence the worlds they occupy as active agents.

There has been an urgent need for a simple and concise guide which teaches the basics of prayer for Muslims. This book has been designed for people who don't know how to pray yet or those who aren't sure whether they learned correctly or not.In this book you will learn the prayers by reading clear and simple descriptions of what to do along with pictures to make sure you understood correctly. One of the unique features of this book is that it doesn't limit itself to teaching the rituals behind the prayer only. Rather, there is an entire chapter dedicated to learning the meanings behind each statement and action in the prayer.

Christopher Alexander owns what many now believe to be the finest collection of early Turkish carpets in the western world, with perhaps half being the only specimens of their kind anywhere. In this richly illustrated, oversized volume--featuring four hundred illustrations, eighty in full color--Alexander takes readers on an engaging tour of his fabulous collection. Readers will see a 13th-century Seljuk Carpet with Dragons, a 15th-century Animal Carpet, a scarlet-niched Transylvanian Prayer Rug, a turquoise Lattice Carpet from Alcaraz, a 16th-century blue Medallion Keyhole Design from Bergama, a rare 16th-century White Field Bird Carpet, the dazzling color and brilliant geometry of a 15th-century Karapinar with Three Gulls, and perhaps Alexander's favorite, a 15th-century Star Karapinar with Flowers (whose designs he describes as "the high point of all Sufi art, the state of liberation, in which the artist is so free, that he is able to be completely natural"). In addition, Alexander elaborates on his theory that these carpets teach structure to artists and architects through the beauty of their form. This lavishly produced volume makes an important contribution to the world of rug scholarship. Equally important, Alexander's thoughtful meditations on these pieces will fascinate the many architects, artists, and planners who follow his work.
