Transcript
A minaret is a tower of a mosque with one or more balconies from which Muslims are called to prayer by a muezzin (an official caller). Domes Domes are traditional in Muslim architecture. The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which was built between 685 and 691 as a shrine for pilgrims, is the oldest Islamic monument. It was built over the rock from which Muhammad ascended to heaven. It is also a Jewish monument as the rock at which Abraham prepared to sacrifice Isaac. Islam: Features of Mosques – Types of Minaret and Dome Minarets
