Improving Mosques, Worldwide, and Inadvertently Humankind

Despite how the title may sound to you, I assure almost every patient reader may learn and benefit. A problem or solution that may affect Worldwide Mosques+ is not minor but a major blessing through me, and will you humbly learn or forward excuses? I am the righteous minority who can defeat every guilty majority, but this time and most of the time, a sweet defeat or mutual uplifting is the target of every loving writer. Every year, millions of Muslims get sick from the Mosques, unnecessarily. Although I will focus on 'cold' as an example, many communicable diseases can be a huge problem in public places, including the Mosques. The problem is largely rug-like carpet culture, and the solution is shifting to leather like vinyl material culture, plus a culture of disinfecting. Anyone who owns a carpet at home may also learn new techniques to upgrade them.

The Carpet Culture Problem: Sometimes it helps to re-identify the problems before detailing the solutions. Carpets have a long tradition in the Middle East, Wikipedia is even claiming that 'Carpets likely originated around Iran', but rug-like carpets are not necessarily the healthiest in many scenarios, especially for Mosques or where children may crawl. Because Muslims prostrate in prayers, a carpeted Mosque will likely harm Muslims more than a carpeted Church or many other places . So God chose a 'Muslim' to offer a remedy to Muslims+, but will they learn fast or will others learn first? How many Mosques are carpeted in Poor Gambia, Africa, and around the world? I estimate around 75% to 95% are carpeted. Even the very Mosques in Saudi-Arabia are largely carpeted and how do I know or the significance? My sister went to Mecca and got sick (cold) there, and she was like that is inevitable there: 'the ablution , the countless wet feet on the carpet to create damp, then you prostrate on such, the nostril is evidently prone to carry virus, bacteria, etc from such.' Well, she is not a doctor and clearly describes the problem. Countless doctors or educated people visit Mecca yearly and are somehow kept from speaking up? Well, perhaps God wants to end it now and through me, or how many people ever identify the problem versus the solution? Although it is possible for Saudi-Arabia publishing me, or some Saudi-Arabian Ambassadors to read, learn, and share with some caring authorities, I want us to change with or without Saudi-Arabia coming late. I doubt if Bangladesh or any country will know or have better than Saudi-Arabia and refuse to even suggest to them. It is not ‘inevitable’ as she and others may believe, but we must learn and help Saudi-Arabia to learn and care. We can minimise sickness by the millions and that is minor.

Carpets' advantages are mainly comfort and beauty, but can we offer something similar in leather-like vinyls and still be much healthier?

The Solutions: The solution may be simple vinyl for the 25% or xyz% health conscious folks, but until we get art-like beautiful vinyls , the shift may be slow or resisted. From the factory level, printing colorful art-like vinyl should start to put a dent on the carpet industry. No malice to the carpet industry, but we must reduce you to door rugs. Besides factory level better printing, local artists can certainly print on vinyl and cover the present carpets with beautiful vinyls. If the artists can mimic up to ten beautiful carpets and use other beautiful tactics, record the video as 'mosque improvement for health', then social media can help convince people far beyond Saudi-Arabia. Changing Saudi-Arabia can help influence Elite travelling Muslims effect change in their respective countries, beyond Mosques. The carpet you already bought may be different, but which companies can ascertain comfort, beauty, and healthier vinyl or xyz for Mosques and beyond? I am hinting a new industry is essentially up for grab, billions of dollars are waiting. You can use good foams covered with beautiful vinyls or easy to clean material.

Disinfecting Culture: I think the Mosques must consider disinfecting culture. Vinegar, alcohol, herbs, lemon, and how many other disinfectants can be used before or after each prayer? Ch2.219 confirmed alcohol can have some benefits, so such may include where we can reap the benefits without the harm. I think rich Saudi-Arabia can easily do it for pilgrims and themselves, if they truly care. Well, even poor Gambia can farm and learn (ihqrah) towards making such products in bulk. How you dry or disinfect your feet may be different from disinfecting the prayer area. I will hint and not overly dictate the many possible ways. Should we have a rug or carpet before the vinyl, use mosque towels or personal towels, etc? Should every mosque have a washing machine?

Mosque Caretaker: Traditionally, we know even Imams were not paid. However, I think it is overdue for all Mosques to have paid Caretakers or a robust voluntary system. A public place is often not the easiest to run, but your excuses must be juxtaposed with your counterparts. The churches, nightclubs, gambling places, etc are making efforts on health, including cleanliness, so the Angels must report the varyingly clean or dirty Mosques, and why the best of muslims must not play dumb, but speak up in the spirit of ch.103. The Imam's area is less prone to problems, but can Imams truly care? You invite us to prayer, but can you make reasonable efforts to help us avoid getting sick? You may not be able to charge people to pray, but you can suggest donations and put cleaning above air conditioners, fans, Imam's bonuses, etc. The Caretaker can also help in enforcing the rules.

Printing and Hanging Rules: We are not interested in shaming anyone, but the age of a worldwide strong culture of cameras is something I pray for and look forward to. Do not say 'people will not read' or 'should know better'. Stop the negative assumptions that ch.49 forbade us. A few minutes of writing to hanging the rules is not much if one to five percent may read and/or benefit from it. Your so-called hadiths must not be over valued against health or decent conscience. By printing, if you have a cold or any communicable disease, it is best to pray at home, or you may earn sins between creatures. The worst of people may stop endangering others or even coming with 'dirty clothes ' into the Mosque or other public places can be sins between creatures. These are just examples, but you can write a long list, help others think.

Individual Prayer Rugs: Even if you want to keep the clothes or carpet like prayer rugs, I think it is overdue to introduce beautiful vinyl-like prayer rugs to compete for health. Again, which company will send millions of such to Saudi-Arabia and worldwide? Although the home carpet-like prayer rugs are less dangerous than the Mosques', I think shifting to vinyl-like prayer rugs can be much healthier. All, especially Muslims, should be encouraged to be walking with small disinfectant bottles and possibly a towel. Prostration may be a huge blessing for the physical body, but where you prostrate on must be clean, or your nose may pick-up problems.

Global Issue, not just a Muslim Issue: Yes, from my title, I made it primarily a Muslim issue/solution , but it is secondarily a human evolution opportunity. If you are indifferent to something unhealthy in the Mosques or xyz, your co-worker can catch a cold+, skip work, or worse transfer it to you. Millions of homes in the west and worldwide have carpets for beauty+. They may not pray like Muslims, but they may have crawling kids. Unless we beautify the vinyls or xyz like or better than present carpets, it will be very hard to convince a beauty worshipping wife or couple to stop gambling the health of children. So governments, including journalists, should seriously help educate the populace. The rich and artists must help realize a new industry and try to bring along the most essential advantages of carpets. After the design, local printing on vinyls should be explored. For many Mosques, you may not need an artist, but an upholstery specialist and simple vinyl will do. The customers can be educated and we thank God for a high percentage to learn.

Do not say millions of children or Muslims are not getting sick through heavy carpet culture, the reality remains millions of children and Muslims do get sick due to poor culture or attraction to carpets. We can be thankful for the solution, but mass achievements are higher blessings. Between Turkey, Iran, China, etc sensitization at the corporate level will trigger the better options and I am confident humans will accept quickly, if reasonable. A foam or xyz covered with beautiful artwork vinyls should be cheaper than carpets. So please do not rob the poor in the name of health. I wish the richer Muslim countries would help build the needed factories in poor countries, but no poor country should endlessly wait for help, especially on health related matters. Cold is the most common, but how many communicable diseases can you and I help reduce through God's inspirations? One of my cousins is an Asthma patient and he stopped going to the Mosques due to frequent attacks that can be tied to the Mosques. I am yet to hear of someone allergic to vinyl, but choice or catering for a potential minority, it may help to have hemp-wood on a small part of the mosque. Pray on the wood corner for health reasons or grab a vinyl prayer mat to soften the wood. So financially, we may save billions of dollars on hospital bills, absent from work; fewer billions through a new or upgraded vinyl or xyz industry if we cater to the poor; and help millions or billions on health.

The Lord of Ihqrah (learning) reveals truth and blessings through whom he wills. The learning from design to manufacturing these better options is for some than others. The ultimate benefits are beyond my small mind to estimate. A worldwide problem with an easy fix should not take months or years. Please do not dismiss the beautifying aspect. Traditional simple printing of vinyls can remain, but we must add wide varieties of colorful artwork to steal about 75% of the carpet market. To the carpet world: switch and spend less time on design. Your already made Carpets can be covered with vinyl or xyz. We may still use carpets in much limited areas, but evolution or health demands we seek better. In the spirit of ch.103, accept the truth and kindness through your fellow 'Muslim' brother. Conscience is my religion, but I was born a Muslim and still practice what I consider good in traditional Islam. I submit to the Lord of conscience, 'we hear, we obey', but at the conscience level, not the interpretations of questionable Imams who missed many hints of the Quhr-aahn. Even in this article, 'I hear and obey' in ways you may not understand. In the beginning of 2026, 75 to 95% of Mosques have unhealthy carpets, but how many may have better than carpets by 2027? How many households have carpets in 2026, but upgrade to better than carpets by when? May God bless Showlove Trinity: let's learn, let's work, let's have fun.
