Anyone who has ever visited a mosque knows that the carpets of the main prayer chamber tend to be patterned mark out a prayer area for each attendee - they are designed to simulate hundreds of prayer rugs laid out one next to another.
What I want to know is, is there a special name for these spaces? e.g. is there an Arabic/Islamic word to fit in the following passage?
"Abdul stepped inside the mosque. For some reason, it was slightly more crowded than usual. Nonetheless, he easily found a free (*word meaning prayer space*) and kneeled, preparing for the prayer ceremony to begin."
