There are two structures necessary for Islamic worship: the Minaret, from which the (muezzin) gives the call to prayer, and the fountain for ablution.

        There are three types of minarets, first the classic minaret which begins square, changes to an octagon, then into a cylinder and is finally capped by a mini dome.

        Second a minaret which begins with a square, then a sixteen sided shaft and then above the Balcony, an octagon.

        Third the continuous cylinder, rising from a square base.

         And as everything else fountains could also be works of art. The courtyard afforded an opportunity for architectural display, which the ottomans and especially the maghals seized with passion.

        Inside the mosque the chief feature is the (Mihrab), a niche in the center the (Qibla) wall to define the direction of Mecca.
