Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) described mosques as the 'garden of paradise'. They are places of worship, education and community links. Manara (minaret) is a tall tower, near to, or built into, a mosque, where the mu'athin calls to pray. Domes are common architectural features in many mosques around the world. They are often decorated from the exterior. The mihrab, which is located at the midpoint of the wall facing Qibla, is a niche or recess that constitutes the central and, at times, the most decorated feature in any mosque. The Minbar is the platform in a mosque placed next to the mihrab and is used for khutba (sermon), which is delivered by the Imam.
