Unveiling the Heart of Worship: Discover the Significance and Role of Al-Masjid in Islamic Community and Culture” A mosque is a place in which Muslims and New Muslims offer pray five times a day. The Arabic word for mosque is masjid . When it is time for salah,  the mu’adh-dhin calls out the adhan from the masjid. 

The adhan is a call for prayer.  Some  mosques  are  small.  Some mosques are very big. If you go to a big mosque, you will find several watertaps in one place. These water taps are for Muslims to make wudhu before starting to pray. You should enter the mosque with the right foot first, saying:

Bismillaah, rasoolillaah. rahmatik.

wassalaatu      wassalaamu    ‘alaa Allaahummaftah          lee        abwaaba

{In the name of Allah and prayers and peace be upon Allah’s Messenger. 0 Allah, open the doors of Your mercy (blessings) for me}.

You should take off your shoes and leave them  at  the  main shoes site  to  the  mosque. Mosques today have racks in them for shoes.

The mosque should be kept clean. Before going to the mosque, you must make sure that your body and clothes are clean and that they do not smell bad.

The mosque is a place of worship. Do not eat or drink in a mosque.  We should not take drinks talks and worldly discussion . After salah, leave the mosque with the left foot first, saying:

Bismillaah, wassalaatu  wassalaamu  ‘alaa rasoolillaah. Allaahumma innee as’aluka min fadlik.
