At first glance, the difference is hard to see.
Simply two prayer mats with similar design, similar layout, and almost identical names. But these "simple" things are a challenge that My Salah Mat faces daily.
When “Similar” Becomes Misleading
This is not just inspiration from one invention then developed into another artwork with own ideas, this is replication.
The competing product closely mirrors the original My Salah Mat in structure, design, and even audio functionality. While audio cannot be seen, comparisons have been documented to highlight the similarities.
The most subtle difference is the brand name appeared on the mats. The original brand is My Salah Mat. The competing version removes one word and becomes Salah Mat. A small change, but one that can easily mislead customers.
For many families, especially those buying for children, it becomes difficult to know which product is genuine.
Why This Matters
Such a counterfeit product is not just a business issue, but a trust issue.
Parents purchase these products to help their children learn salah correctly. If they unknowingly buy a lower quality copy, the experience can fall short, and the original brand is often blamed.
Community feedback reflects this confusion. Some customers have questioned how such similar products can exist, while others have realised only after purchasing that they may not have bought the original.
Going Forward
This is a challenge many founders face. When a product grows, imitation often follows. The responsibility then becomes twofold: protecting innovation and educating customers.
The original product is the one that is sold in the official store or authorised resellers, such that you can find below
