The tall tower is called minaret. Minarets ( in Arabic means lighthouse) are distinctive architectural features of mosques. Though they are often seen in mosques , they are not mandatory.

Minarets serve few purpose at times like

1) Providing a visual cue to a surrounding area/location.

2) loud speakers are usually situated at top of the tower to make sure the call for prayer is heard to specific direction

3) sometimes it is illuminated by torches acting more like light house

4) practical sense, these are also used for natural air conditioning through air ventilation at the top
