伊斯蘭教的禮拜場所。公共清真寺包括一個共同祈禱區域，通常座落在一具有呼拜塔及壁龕（mihrab米拉哈布）或其它指向麥加方位結構的圓頂建築。清真寺中有時也設有講道的高台（minbar講經台），以及提供信徒水池以洗淨手腳的緊鄰中庭。因為伊斯蘭教嚴禁再現人物形象，所以寺中主要採用幾何裝飾或阿拉伯書法藝術。Muslim places of worship. Public mosques consist of an area reserved for communal prayers, frequently in a domed building with a minaret, and with a niche (mihrab) or other structure indicating the direction of Mecca. There may also be a platform for preaching (minbar), and an adjacent courtyard in which water is provided for the obligatory ablutions before prayer. Since representations of the human form are forbidden, decoration is geometric or based on Arabic calligraphy.
