A mosque is a Muslim place of worship. Many mosques have a prayer hall and often a tall tower called a minaret.

  • Place of worship: A building where people go to pray, sing or think about their faith.
  • Symbol: A sign or picture that has a special meaning for a religion.
  • Respect: Showing care for people, places and objects that are important to others.
