Describe and explain the important features of a Mosque.
The Mosque or also known as a Masjid in Arabic plays a big part in the way of life in the Muslim culture. We know this because this is a place of worship and a place where Muslims can meet, celebrate and more importantly pray. Muhammad said: “Where ever the time of prayer overtakes you, pray; this place is a Mosque.”
The most important features of a Mosque are various. Most Mosques have at least one Minaret. The Minaret is a tall tower which is quite narrow. This is where the Muezzin calls them to prayer 5 times a day. This is important as it reminds them to come to prayer. This is one of the five pillars or Islam. It also promotes Ummah as it brings a lot of fellow Muslim’s together.
