Detailed explanation-1: -The English word “mosque” denotes a Muslim house of worship. The word evolved from the Arabic term masjid, which means “place of prostration.” During prayer, Muslims briefly kneel and touch their foreheads to the ground as a sign of submission (literally, Islam) to the will of God.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mecca is considered the holiest city in Islam, as it is home to Islam’s holiest site Kaaba (’Cube’) in Al-Masjid Al-Ḥaram (The Sacred Mosque). Only Muslims are allowed to enter this place.
Detailed explanation-3: -Muslims often attend the mosque on Friday for midday prayer, teaching, and sermon. Mosques are also used for weddings, funerals, and Ramadan festivals and prayer services. They are also used as community spaces and sometimes offered as homeless shelters as well.
