Recognising a mosque Muslims come to the mosque to worship and pray. The purpose built mosque has a dome and a minaret. Purpose built mosques are rare in Wales. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth
Dome The main feature of a purpose built mosque is the dome. The dome is placed above the prayer hall. The dome keeps the inside of the mosque cool in hot countries. It also helps to carry the voice of the Imam, religious teacher. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth
Minaret The minaret is a tower that is a part of the purpose built mosque. From this tower the call to prayer is made by the Muezzin. The Muezzin will walk around the balcony, calling people to come and pray. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth

The Prayer Hall The most important room in the mosque is the Prayer Hall. The most important wall in the prayer hall is the Qiblah wall. Muslims face towards this wall when they worship and pray. They face towards the Ka’ba in Makkah. This is where they believe Allah was worshipped for the first time. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth
WHAT IS HAJJ What is Hajj? The annual pilgrimage to Makkah- the Hajj- is an obligation only for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. Nevertheless, about two million people go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe providing a unique opportunity for those of different nations to meet one another. Although Makkah is always filled with visitors, the annual Hajj begins in the twelfth month of the Islamic year (which is lunar, not solar, so the Hajj and Ramadan fall sometimes in summer, sometimes in winter). Pilgrims wear special clothes: simple garments which strip away distinctions of class and culture, so that all stand equal before God. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth

Du’aPersonal Prayer Dear God. Help us all to be kind to the poor and homeless. Also help us to raise money for them. Please stop cruelty in this world. We can put a roof over their heads, and give them food, and clean water to drink if we are willing to share. Help us to be more caring. Amen. 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth
Prayer Mat When a Muslim is not praying in a mosque he might use a prayer mat to pray on. This ensures the Muslim that he has a clean and special place to pray. He will pray facing towards the Ka’ba in Makkah 5T Ysgol Gynradd Machynlleth
