Morocco 24 │ The Prayer

A Mosque means many things to many people. For some, it’s a community centre to meet friends and local loved ones. For others, it’s a sanctuary to escape the hustle and bustle of life. While many children attend ‘Madrassah classes’ every evening to learn about and connect with their faith. 

Whether it’s part of your daily routine, or just on a Friday, Mosques are a pivotal part of faith that comes with great reward.

A mosque is a physical manifestation of the public presence of Muslims and serves as a point of convergence for Islamic social and intellectual activity.

It is the belief that Muslims should pray five times each day. Prayer is important as it allows Muslims to communicate with Allah, listen to Allah and follow in the footsteps of the prophets.

Of all Muslim institutions, the mosque is the most important place for the public expression of Islamic religiosity and communal identity.
