Explain how the layout of a mosque makes it easier for Muslims to pray correctly.
Answers
The simplest mosque would be a prayer room with a wall marked with a “mihrab” – a niche indicating the direction of Mecca, which Muslims should face when praying. A typical mosque also includes a minaret, a dome and a place to wash before prayers. Each feature has its own significance.
Most religions have a place of worship. For Islam, it is the mosque. Not only a place for praying, it's the center of the community and where many wonderful pieces of Islamic art have been created.
Mosques are the heart of the Islamic life. They serve for prayers, for events during Islam's holiest month Ramadan, as centers for education and information, places for social welfare, and also for dispute settlement. The iman is the religious leader of the mosque and the person who leads the prayers.
