It is not a chair of the normal word English meaning. It is called MINBER in Arabic. It is a high seat reached by stepping up three steps or more. Its purpose is for the Muslim Prayer leader (called Imam) to be in an enough higher position to be seen by the attendants when delivering the sermon and to allow him to sit down during the sermon pauses.
