A Muslim mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. It serves as a community center where Muslims gather to pray, especially on Fridays for the weekly congregational prayer known as Jumu'ah. Mosques often feature a prayer hall, a minaret for calling the faithful to prayer, and sometimes a courtyard. In addition to prayer, mosques are venues for educational activities, social events, and community services. They may also provide resources for learning about the Qur'an and Islamic teachings. Mosques can vary in architectural style, reflecting the cultural influences of the regions where they are located.
