Mosque

A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims. Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls, in varying styles of architecture. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula. The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for Ṣalāh (Arabic: صَـلَاة‎, meaning "prayer") as well as a center for information, education, social welfare, and dispute settlement. The Imām is the controller of a mosque.
