Material Chosen With the Worshipper in Mind
Rather than treating the textile as decoration, we considered the material from the point of view of the person using it: touch, comfort, durability, appearance and everyday use.
It Started With a Simple Question.
In our home, we share one prayer mat. Between school, work and evening prayers, we all return to the same surface.
Our Most Personal Prayer Surface Was Still Just Fabric.
We already use antimicrobial technology in high-contact fabrics such as healthcare garments and bedding.
What if our prayer mat could do more than wait for wash day?
That question became Hajjenic — the self-cleaning prayer mat, designed to keep its treated surface fresher between prayers.
Meet the Founder
Abdirahman Sh. Ahmed
Founder Hajjenic
I travelled to Türkiye, combining Turkish craftsmanship with Swedish ViralOff® technology.
Yet as Muslims, few surfaces come closer to our face more often than the place where we make sajdah.
Forehead. Nose. Hands. Again and again.
So why should the prayer mat simply wait for wash day?
That question helped inspire Hajjenic.
Tahara Lesson
The Dog Wasn’t the Lesson. What You Couldn’t See Was.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه, the Prophet ﷺ taught that when a dog licks a vessel, it is washed seven times, one with earth. A powerful reminder passed through generations of Muslims: what looks clean does not always tell the whole story.
