Best Answer

In Arabic, there are three kinds of mosques.

Large Mosques, the equivalents to Cathedrals in Catholicism, that can hold tens of thousands of worshipers are called Jaame3 (جامع)

Local Mosques, such as might serve a community and would accommodate a few hundred or a thousand worshipers are called Masjed (مسجد)

A small chapel, such as you might find in a hospital, a train station, or an airport for the occasional worship is called a Mosalla (مصلى)
