• Notice that there are no pews in the mosque?
• The mosque is only used for prayers, and people need to be able to kneel down, so
pews would just get in the way.
• Muslims do not hold “services” like Christians. They perform prayers together in
the mosque on Friday afternoons, sometimes hear a respected Muslim imam give a
short message, and then socialize and greet friends and family.

• Notice that there are no pictures, only designs and patterns?
• Muslims were afraid that people would end up worshipping idols or pictures. So in
their mosques, beautiful patterns are used, but there are no images of Muhammad.

• Notice that the outside of all mosques have at least one tower, called a minaret.
• The minaret is used by a muezzin, a person who stands at the top of the tower and
sing/chants the reminder to Muslims that it’s time to pray. People in Muslim-
majority cities will hear this call 5 times each day. (Churches use bells to do
basically the same thing.)

Mecca
