MOsques
~Islam

All mosques are fashioned after the home of Muhammed. His home was typical of other 7th century homes in the Middle East; one large high-roofed building with an enclosed courtyard which contained a fountain.
Just like other religions, the building, the furnishings, and the decoration of mosques is highly symbolic and plays a part in the prayer ceremony. |
