Is it thoughtful to give my colleague a compact prayer mat for work?

Salam! I've been thinking about getting my kind Muslim coworker a small, portable prayer mat to use at the hospital where we work. I'm not Muslim myself, so I'm not fully familiar with the customs, but I've observed her stepping away for morning prayer (is it called Fajr?) and using a quiet space. She might already have one, but I thought a clean, personal mat could be more comfortable than the floor. If it's suitable, any advice on materials or what to look for would be appreciated. JazakAllah Khair for your guidance!

Maybe include a small, simple card. Your thoughtfulness is heartwarming.

As someone who prays at work, I’d be thrilled to receive this. It shows real respect.

Yes, please do! A personal mat is so much cleaner and nicer than the floor.

Just make sure it’s a plain design without any calligraphy or symbols if you’re unsure.

That’s so sweet and considerate of you! Many Muslims would appreciate such a thoughtful gift.

Great idea. Look for one made of soft, easy-to-clean fabric that folds up small.

Aw this is lovely. She’ll be touched you noticed and thought of her needs.
