THE MOSQUE

The Mosque ~ 133 ~ are for the performance of that act of faith on a local level and, in the case of Mecca and Medina, on an international level. Muslims gather five times a day to pray in the mosque. The mosque is their natural religious centre. That is why the Prophet encouraged us to build mosques in the centres of towns. The situation of mosques, and the activities which are conducted in them, are in themselves an invitation to people to come together for worship of their Lord.
