A minaret is a type of tower that is usually built into or next to a mosque. Minarets are commonly used to project the Muslim call to prayer (adhan), but they also function as landmarks and symbols of Islam's presence.

A minaret's formal function is to provide a vantage point from which the muezzin can issue the call to prayer.

Answer: The Highest (tallest) minaret in the world is the minaret of the world is Djamaa el Djazaïr in Algiers,

Algeria which stands at 265 metres (870 ft). The tallest minaret in the world built of bricks is the 100 metres (328 ft) tall Fateh Burj in Chappar Chiri, India.

Explanation:

Djamaa el Djazaïr , also known as the Great Mosque of Algiers (French: Grande mosquée d'Alger), is a mosque in Algiers, Algeria. It houses the world's tallest minaret and is the third-largest mosque in the world after the Great Mosque of Mecca and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi of Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The construction of the mosque began in August 2012 after the Algerian government's contract, for 1 billion euros, was won by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation. The design was done by German architects KSP Juergen Engel Architekten and engineers Krebs und Kiefer International and was completed by April 2019. The mosque faced construction delays owing to budgetary concerns due to the falling prices of oil. Around 2,300 workers from China, Algeria and other African countries were deployed to work on the project. The construction of the mosque was seen by many to serve as a symbol of the reign of long-serving president Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

The mosque sits on a site covering 400,000 m2 (4,300,000 sq ft) and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The prayer hall has a capacity of 37,000 worshippers, while the structure including the compound can house up to 120,000 worshippers and has parking space for 7,000 cars. The complex also houses a Quran school, a park, a library, staff housing area, a fire station, a museum of Islamic art, and a research centre on the history of Algeria.
