The first mosques were simple places of prayer for Muslims, and may have been open spaces rather than buildings. [4] In the first stage of Islamic architecture, 650-750 CE, early mosques comprised open and closed covered spaces enclosed by walls, often with minarets from which calls to prayer were issued. [5] Mosque buildings typically contain an ornamental niche ( mihrab) set into the wall that indicates the direction of Mecca ( qiblah) [1] and ablution facilities. [1] [6] The pulpit ( minbar), from which the Friday ( jumu'ah) sermon ( khutba) is delivered, was in earlier times characteristic of the central city mosque, but has since become common in smaller mosques. [7] [1] Mosques typically have segregated spaces for men and women. [1] This basic pattern of organization has assumed different forms depending on the region, period and denomination.

According to Ahmad ibn Hanbal, these verses were followed to the letter at the times of Muhammad, when Jews and Christians, considered monotheists, were still allowed to Al-Masjid Al-Haram. The Umayyad caliph Umar II later forbade non-Muslims from entering mosques, and his ruling remains in practice in present-day Saudi Arabia. [47] Today, the decision on whether non-Muslims should be allowed to enter mosques varies. With few exceptions, mosques in the Arabian Peninsula as well as Morocco do not allow entry to non-Muslims. For example, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is one of only two mosques in Morocco currently open to non-Muslims. [105] Harris, John (April 22, 2006).

According to Islamic scholars and history, Islam was established in Arabia during the lifetime of Muhammad in the 7th century CE, [9] and so did architectural components such as the mosque. In this case, either the Mosque of the Companions in the Eritrean city of Massawa, [10] or the Quba Mosque in the Hejazi city of Medina (the first structure built by Muhammad upon his emigration from Mecca in 622 CE), [11] would be the first mosque that was built in the history of Islam.

However, particularly in Arab countries, when worn under the keffiyeh headscarf, they are kept in a traditional white. Some Muslims wrap a turban around the cap, called an ʿimamah in Arabic, which is often done by Shia and Sunni Muslims. In the United States and Britain, taqiyas are usually referred to as "kufis". [3] "Topi" is a type of taqiyah cap that is worn in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and other regions of South Asia. Many different types of topi caps include the Sindhi cap, worn in Sindh and the crochet topi that is often worn at Muslim prayer services. The topi cap is often worn with shalwar kameez, which is the national costume of Pakistan. Goring, Rosemary (1997). Dictionary of Beliefs & Religions. Wordsworth Editions. ISBN 978-1-85326-354-5.

Mosques built in Southeast Asia often represent the Indonesian-Javanese style architecture, which are different from the ones found throughout the Greater Middle East. The ones found in Europe and North America appear to have various styles but most are built on Western architectural designs, some are former churches or other buildings that were used by non-Muslims. In Africa, most mosques are old but the new ones are built in imitation of those of the Middle East. This can be seen in the Abuja National Mosque in Nigeria and others.
