The first and only in the world Namazhan
Master Cengizhan Canyürek (57), who turned a room of the house where he lived in Konya into a workshop, did something that no one has done so far, and he produced the first and only prayer hall in the world by evaluating the time he stayed at home during the pandemic period.
Since childhood, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque affected by the glass and wanting to put out a product inspired by them, poet, writer and painter who Canyürek aspects of Genghis Khan, who produced the first prayer niche in the world and in Turkey. Canyürek, who named his product Namazhan, wants it to be put into mass production. Canyürek said that he was born with an interest and talent in art and said, “I work as a sculptor, a comic artist and a poet. My life was spent in industry. I also worked in carpentry for a while to reinforce my skills. For this reason, I combined art and crafts to create a product. I made personalized gravestones from polyester. I have special technological designs. Apart from that, I started to improve myself gradually while I was doing mosque and artistic designs. I wanted to do something after spending a long time at home during the pandemic period. I am not a person who likes to be idle, I wanted to leave permanent works to people. First I made a styrofoam prayer for myself. When he was liked later, I wanted to make a wooden prayer and put it into mass production. Although this product is a bit expensive, we can improve it a little more. It can be made for everyone. "It can encourage people to pray".
"YOU FEEL LIKE KABE"
Talking about the characteristics of his prayer hall, Canyürek said, “I was very attracted to the windows of the mosques built with Ottoman architecture. I used to see them as places to pray in awe. I always thought of creating the Sultan Ahmet Mosque in my garden. It has a very authentic stance and a soothing look. Later, Allah gave me a prayer made of styrofoam. Then I developed this further and produced the wooden version to be assembled in 15 pieces. I enlarged the picture of the Kaaba and had it offset printing. When you enter inside, you feel like you are entering the courtyard of the Kaaba. I made it with a piston that opens and closes. I have placed the Quran in the form of a partial on the right. You can open that rah and read the Quran. I did LED lighting and put pleasant fragrances in it. "I am in negotiations to start mass production and export of the prayer hall that I produce." Drawing attention to the importance of praying, Canyürek said, “I did not think of any financial gain while performing this prayer. I want this to spread. Because the more people pray on it, the more rewards it is for me if they are encouraged to pray. It is a service to humanity. People have American bars built in their homes, a jacuzzi, and sometimes they can give 70-80 thousand liras to a furniture. Therefore, if people have financial means, they should force themselves. Because our master the prophet (pbuh) says "prayer is the ascension of a believer" in a hadith. Ascension means reaching the presence of God, seven floors above the ground. Today, Elon Musk spends nearly $ 1 trillion to get on Mars. It is one floor above the ground. That is why, by praying, you can climb seven floors above the ground for free. ”
