God worshiping by Muslims include:

  • ritual worshiping, and
  • all good deeds done in obedience to God and prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and following Islam religion teachings and g

Ritual worships include:

  • Prayers,
  • paying zakat (Alms giving),
  • sawm (fasting), and
  • hajj (pilgrimage).

Regarding prayers, Muslims go for ritual praying to mosque (or called Masjid). However, ritual praying can be done at home, office, garden, open air, during flying, on a ship, or any dry clean place on the ground. Ritual prayers are to be performed as a gathering with one leading the prayer. However, if praying in a gathering is not available then it can be done individually. In addition, Muslims are required to attend Friday prayers and holiday (Eid) prayers at the mosque; they theoretically can do the rest at home. A dedicated mosque is not even required to do those prayers. Other large facilities, such as convention centers, are often rented out for the purpose of hosting large holiday prayers. Friday prayers can also be done in congregation at workplaces, schools, and other areas where a group of Muslims (it does not have to be large) can gather.

Regarding hajj (pilgrimage), worship is done in certain places in Saudi Arabia including Makkah (or Mecca) and its vicinities.

The remaining ritual worships; namely Zakat and Sawm, no specific places are relevant.

for more information, refer to related question below.

Muslims can worship literally, everywhere, excluding dirty places. It is however preferred, to pray and worship in a mosque.

In a mosque or at Mecca.

They pray at mosques five times per day.

A mosque is where Muslims worship. It is very similar to a church

Answer
If the question refers by the word "worship" to only the ritual of praying (or salat in Arabic), then the place is called a MOSQUE. In Arabic, there are two names for such a structure: Jame'a (جامع) also Latinized in Turkish as Camii refers to a large Mosque and Masjid (مسجد) also Latinized in Turkish as Mescid which refers to a smaller community building. Muslims in the mosque; during praying; face the direction of Kaaba in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.

It is at a Mosque that Muslims pray on a Friday and they can also pray there for the normal daily prayers as well. Additionally, they will meet there to study the Qur'an and often for social events as well.

In addition to mosques, Muslims are allowed licitly to pray in any other clean and dry place as office, home, stadium, or even open air areas. Many transportation hubs in Muslims countries (such as bus or train stations) have a Chapel (or Musalla in Arabic) which is a small area designated for prayer.

It is worthy to mention that Islam is a religion per God revelation of Qur'an to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Followers of Islam are called Muslims. No Muslim worships "Islam" or "Muhammad" or any physical place in particular. (They worship Allah; or God in English and same God in Christianity and Judaism; at a place, but they do not worship the place itself.)

Additional Information: Holy Sites of Islam
Islam sees the entire world as a holy place in which worship can occur (with the exception of certain indoor spaces like bathrooms which are not clean or dry). However, there are certain places of additional holiness to which Muslims go to amplify the strength of their prayers or to feel closer to God .

The three biggest holy places are:

  1. The Masjid al-Haram or Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia in which sits the Ka'aba or Black Cube. Muslims are required, if financially able, to visit the Ka'aba once in their lives in the pilgrimage known as the Hajj. The largest congregational open prayers are done in Mecca and Medina during the Hajj. Refer to related question below on how to perform the Hajj.
  2. The Masjid al-Nabawi or the Prophet's Mosque in Medina/Yethrib, Saudi Arabia. (The city is known by both names.) This was the second mosque built in the history of Islam, and built adjacent to Muhammad's house in Medina/Yethrib. It established the proper shape and style of mosque building as well as being Muhammad's final resting place.
  3. The Haram al-Sharif and the Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock and the Distant Mosque in Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine. This is the place where prophet Muhammad was ascended to heaven as God miracle.


Additionally, there are famous mosques which hold great prestige or value such as the Jame'a Bani Umayya al-Kabir or the Great Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria or the Jame'a Al-Azhar or Flower Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. There are also special mosques that are significant primarily to only Shiites such as Abbas Mosque, in Karbala, Iraq. These are called The "Ahl Al-Bayt".

Finally, the tombs of Sufi saints are also seen as limited holy places to Muslims and there are some towns, like Moulay Idriss, Morocco which have become sanctified due to the burial of an Islamic Saint.

If the question is asking where such a place is located, it can be found in any city of village with a large enough Muslim population to warrant it.
