A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid, Arabic: ????? — Arabic pronunciation: [?mæsd??d] (pl. mas?jid, Arabic: ?????? — [mæ?sæ?d??d]). The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the larger, "collective" mosque (Arabic: ???? ?????, masjid j?mi‘), which has more community and social amenities.
The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: ?????, ?al?t) as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer.
They have developed significantly from the open-air spaces that were the Quba Mosque and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the 7th century. Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in all inhabited continents.
