Mosque

Mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. The word «mosque» in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller mosques dedicated for the daily five prayers and the larger mosques where the daily five prayers and the Friday congregation sermons are held with a high volume of attendance. Mosques usually consist of elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls that do not have any pictures. On the walls sometimes you can only see lines from the Koran in Arabic. The wall facing Mecca, where prayers are sent, marked by an empty niche - mihrab.
