Places and Ways of worship of Muslims

Muslims place of worship is called a mosque. An alternative word for mosque, from the original Arabic, is masjid, meaning place of prostration. Outside every mosque, or just inside the entrance, is a place where worshippers can remove and leave their shoes. There is also a place where they can carry out the ritual washing required before prayer. Muslim women’s don’t prefer praying in Mosque so they have a separate place where they can pray known as Dargah. Dargah is an Islamic shrine built over the grave of a revered religious figure, often a Sufi saint or dervish.

A Call is made from the mosque, indicating that it is time for the obligatory prayer. There are five obligatory prayers in a day. On hearing the Call, people start preparing themselves for the prayer and then stand before their God by making the intention to pray, leaving all other chores and concerns aside. Some of the most popular Masjid or Dargah in Delhi are Jama Masjid, Nizamuddin Dargah Auliya, Moth ki Masjid,etc.
