Do Muslim men and women pray together in the mosque?
Both men and women can pray in the same mosque, but definitely not together, men should be in the front row and women stand behind them. Islam doest not allowed men and women to be in the same row while praying either in the mosque or at home.
For further details check some of the Islamic sites.
Why do men pray at the mosque on Fridays?
Friday, for Muslims, is a holiday. All Islamic countries (at least the Middle Eastern ones) take Friday off. Every Friday there is a Jumaa. The Imam gives a Khutba and anyone who attends it from the beginning is attending salat duhr. After the Khutba, they pray 2 rakaas for the duhr.Also, the Prophet pbuh prayed at the mosque on Fridays. Truthfully, a man should be praying all his prayers at the Masjid. That is including the Fajr.
No. But if you want to have any tourist action then, yes. Mosques do not need to beautiful. Of course they would look more attractive if they were and this might attract believers. But, it is not how the mosque looks but how many people attend the congregation and what is inside. Where I live there is a lovely mosque but you cannot tell that it is a mosque, it looks more like a social house or church.
Do you wash before entering a mosque?
Washing is symbolic of washing the world away and presenting yourself clean before the Lord.
What are the key features inside of a mosque?
The important outside architect features are usually designed Dome and minaret.
The important internal features are:
- Al-Kebla (a direction marked by a hollow curvature in the wall) that Muslims face during praying. the mosque leader (Imam) stay usually in front of it and facing it to lead Muslims during the gathering praying.
- Al-Menbar: some steps (minimum three) for the mosque leader to step up during giving Sermon of Friday or other occasions.
- The floor is usually furnished with clean carpets or other coverings for prayers.
Why is there a moon on the top of the mosque?
The star and crescent is a new innovation that has been adopted in Islam passed by the Persians or/and Greeks. Somehow like Christians use their symbol as a cross, some Muslims use the crescent and star as Islams symbol on top of the dome. Some scholars of Islam even think that it should be forbidden because there is no evidence that the crescent is a symbol prescribed by Islam and so they think it is better not to use it.

Why Badshahi Mosque is famous?
The Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, was built by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb between 1673- 74. It is the eighth largest mosque in the world. The Mosque was completed under the superintendence of Fidai Khan Koka, Aurangzeb's foster brother. Made up of red sand-stone, this Mosque is situated opposite to the Alamgiri gate of Lahore Fort. The prayer room can accommodate upto 100,000 worshipers.
Mosques were built in order to fit the entire Muslim population the area. The hypostyle floor plan was used the most; it's a hall with a flat ceiling that is supported with columns. Think of a forest of columns that are spread out evenly. This type of architecture was very popular because it was easy to expand upon; take out a wall, add two more rows of columns, add more ceiling, and you're done. Mosques were decorated using arches (normally a horseshoe type of arch) and alternating voussoirs; columns to support arches were normally taken from older buildings, or spolia. Arabesques and motifs can be seen around mosques; this was used to decorate since you couldn't depict anything with a soul. In Europe, some places were taken over, like the Parthenon and other buildings used for religious purposes; I don't know too much about any Mosques in Europe.
What objects are inside a mosque?
Dear all First of all i would prefer to call it a Masjid instead of a Mosque which is a place of worship in congrigation. It is a place which is maintained well for the people to find peace and tranquility while worshipping. There are no items kept in a Masjid. It is just a plain hall were in you find Quran and some of the other religious books for the people to read. Other than that there is nothing kept in the Masjid. There is also a place for doing "Wadu" that is ablution (cleaning oneself with water in a ritualistic manner prescribed in Islam) before anyone starts to pray or worship. Farook

Was a mosque located in The World Trade Center before 911 happened?
The planned Islamic community centre will be two blocks from 'Ground Zero', further from the site than one already existing nearby.
As to why in that part of the city: because it is the people in that part of the city who want it built, and that happens to be the site they have obtained for building the centre on.
What two things worshipers must do before entering mosque?
- A Muslim should be on valid ablution (both minor and major) or Wudu

However, it is currently a tradition for hygienic reasons to keep ground (covered with carpets/rugs) clean and tidy especially during Muslim Soujoud (touching the ground with faces during praying or salat).

Why is a mosque important to the Muslim community?
Well, if the local community included a lot of Muslims, it would help them fulfill their obligation to pray 5 times a day in greater comfort. It also serves as a gathering place. Some mosques also make some of their facilities available to the greater community, though most do not.
You should ask the leadership of the particular mosque you're asking about how their specific mosque would benefit your specific community.
