A
Mosque (Masjid) contains symbolic or functional features, each one of
which has its own history that is important to Muslims, one is the
Mihrab, a niche that indicates the Qibla (direction of prayer), the
Minbar (elevated pulpit) used for sermons, proclamations and readings,
the Qubah {Dome} set on a high drum and a centralized or annular
(ring-like) plan with two ambulatories or corridors the Minarat where
the faithful are called for prayer. Today the Minaret serves as a visual
inspiration indicating a Muslim community, or as seen in Mecca &
Madina sanctuaries displaying as far as possible the location of a holy
place.
