WorshipThe Mosque, the Minaret, Domed features and the inclusion of Calligraphy are all very important in Islamic religious architecture. The Mosque is a place of worship. The Minaret is a tower used to call believers to prayer. Domes are often associated with Mosques and Calligraphy features writings from the Qur’an on Mosque walls.

The MosqueTHE MOSQUE
must always include a prayer hall that faces Mecca. Because of this the prayer hall is normally of a rectangular shape. The orientation towards Mecca also means that one of the walls will be more important than the others. This wall is called the qibla wall. Often there is a separation in the prayer hall or an additional room for the women to pray separately from the men.

Islamic Architecture and Trade
Islam spread as large numbers of Muslim merchants followed trade routes. Merchants traveled throughout Dar-Al Islam, or from Africa through the Middle East, into central Asia, India, China and to the islands of present-day Indonesia. Islamic architecture naturally developed in these lands.

The CourtyardA feature related to larger mosques is the courtyard. The courtyard is an important space because it represents the Islamic preference for privacy and it offers shelter for travelers and merchants. Some mosques became complexes with many buildings tied to social functions, including hospitals.
