الوصف


M asjid or Mosque - an emblem of religious fervour and a veritable testimony of fraternal unity and solidarity of Muslim Ummah brings forth in a Muslim a host of feelings harmonising with his religious, social, communal and cultural aspirations. From the explicit words of our Prophet, "The earth has been created for me as a masjid and a place of purity, and whatever man from my Ummah finds himself in need of prayer, let him pray" (anywhere)! it is obvious that a devout Muslim does not require a defined space or structure for divine worship since the whole earth is his prayer house. Yet we see that from time immemorial man throughout the Muslim world has painstakingly erected innumerable mosques. The reason is that from the very inception, mosques have been looked upon not merely as congregational prayer places but as a nucleus of other socio-cultural aspects, and a symbol of identity, strength, peace and justice. It is evident that wherever Muslims went, they erected mosques to meet the fundamental religious requirements i.e. congregational prayers five times a day. In the very early days, the Prophet himself had used mosques to address his followers and to give sermons on spiritual uplift and socio-political aspects of life2 • Thus the mosque became the symbol and the central feature of the Islamic way of life and it formed an inseparable part of their settlement in the course of time3 • Irrespective of country and culture the norm set by the Prophet was ardently followed in all the Muslim countries of the world.
