Mosque
Prayer is established at four levels :the individual, the
congregation, the total population of a town and the entire muslim world.
There for the Muslims needed more then one type of mosques. The first is
the (Masjid), a mosque used for daily prayer by individuals or small
groups but not for the Friday worship; it there for has a (Mihrab) but no
(Minbar).
The second is the (Jami’), The Friday Mosque; used for the main
weekly service, it is normally much larger then the (Masjid) and provided
with a (Minbar).
The
third is the (Idgah), the place of community prayer, is a great open
praying area wit nothing but a (Qibla) wall and a (Mihrab), there the
whole population of a city can assemble for the two major festivals, the
breaking of the fast and the sacrifice of Ibrahim.
