A mosque is a place where Muslims go to worship together.

But it is also more than that. A mosque is a centre of the Muslim community.

It is a place to learn about Islam and Arabic language, a place to go for help with questions about the role of Islam in daily life, and a place to celebrate.

(Mosque is a commonly used English form of the Arabic word masjid)
