Throughout the long history of Islam, mosques, which are also called Masjids, have been the centres of local communities. During the good times of the Prophet Muhammad, they were thought to be the centre of the city (PBUH). It is now widely known as a place of worship and prayer for Muslims, except for a small number of mosques. The Muslim ummah is at its most beautiful when each of its members knows and celebrates who they are while staying true to Islam.

But there’s never any doubt about how important mosques are. Many buildings were built as reminders of how great and important Islam was in the past, and their design and construction show this. Even though domes, minarets, and prayer rooms are common parts of many mosques’ designs, each mosque has its own style that is often influenced by its location. Some of these mosques are part of our March umrah packages all-inclusive.
