Pry and argue horribly, crossing king? It's possibly beneath a Muslim (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

prayer rug

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'possibly beneath a muslim' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'pry and argue horribly crossing king?' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'horribly' indicates anagramming the letters (a horribly wrong version of the letters).
'crossing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (to cross can mean to go over or around).
'king?' becomes 'R' (abbreviation for rex, king in Latin).
'pry' put after 'argue' is 'arguepry'.
'arguepry' anagrammed gives 'prayerug'.
'prayerug' placed around 'r' is 'PRAYER-RUG'.

'it's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for prayer rug that I've seen is " appeals to master from here?".)
