Rosedale Mall has debuted a prayer room for Muslim shoppers in time for Eid al-Fitr, in what may become a permanent feature at the Roseville shopping center.

Eid al-Fitr, a religious holiday that marks the end of the month of Ramadan, can be celebrated for up to three days, though "the big prayer time" is the morning after Ramadan ends, said Rammy Mohamed, a local fashion designer.

"I'm the girl behind the idea," she said of the Rosedale prayer room, which she said is the first of its kind at a metro-area mall. "I said, 'You know what would be cool? Having a nice place to pray.' "
