[00:00:00]Found something in this mosque that I had not seen before and apparently is related to the Shia Muslim religion and I've never seen it in any mosque around the world because most of the mosque I have visited are Sunni mosque like in Saudi Arabia, in the UAE, in Oman, in Algeria. They're all Sunni Muslims. They do not use this. So this is super special for the Shia Muslim religion.

[00:00:25]Everywhere you walk inside you will find these baskets and have many of these things. And the way the Shia believe in this is that the prophet Muhammad back in the day he did not have any fancy carpets. He would literally put his head while praying directly on the ground and this is why the Shia Muslims use this clay little round thing and they would put it right in front of them and while they would pray they would also put their head right on it as if they would touch the ground just like prophet Muhammad did.
