Calligraphy is the art of writing, used throughout the Muslim world. The Holy Qu'ran is written in Arabic and verses from it are used decoratively in mosques and elsewhere, often appearing on items around the home, such as wall hangings, plaques, ornamental carvings, etc.

A Prayer Mat is used for prayer. After performing a ritual washing and with shoes removed, worshippers kneel on the carpet, having first made sure that they are facing Mecca. Some prayer mats have a compass attached to help. The prayer mat may be decorated with geometric patterns or designs of leaves and flowers. It may also feature representations of important mosques. The 'mihrab' or arch design mirrors the 'mihrab' found in mosques to indicate the direction of Mecca.

A Tigiyah is a prayer hat worn by men and boys and is often made in white crochet-work. The skull cap, scarf or veil is worn to cover the head as a mark of respect to Allah.

Tasbih are prayer beads representing the ninety-nine names of Allah. They are sometimes only thirty-three in number, so the person at prayer should work around the beads three times.
