MOSQUE

A mosque is a place of worship for followers of the Islamic faith. Muslims all over the world often refer to the mosque by its name in Arabic The first mosque in the world was the Masjid Al Haram around the Ka'bah in Makkah Saudi Arabia. The first mosque in Medina , a city north of Makkah , was the house of the Prophet Muhammad Masjid al-Nabawi to which the followers of Muhammad had withdrawn from persecution in 622 . The reconstructions of Muhammad's house show a large courtyard containing a relatively small house. After many worshippers complained about the heat of the midday sun, Muhammad had a row of palm trunks erected on one side of the courtyard and a roof of palm fronds laid between the columns and the outer wall, creating a shaded prayer space. He himself stood at one end of this simple arcade to preach.
