Going to the mosque

Mosques all over the world share a number of similar features; they often have a minaret and a dome, sometimes they are surrounded by an arcade or have a school called a Madrasa. Muslims do not have to perform the Salah in a mosque except on Friday at mid-day.

Before entering a mosque, Muslims must remove their shoes. It is normal for men and women to pray in different areas of the mosque. There are no priests in Islam, but most mosques have an Imam.
