It is a tower where a crier calls Muslims to pray five times a day.


It is an essential part of the mosque structure that allows the announcement for prayer from a high location above ground to be heard by a wide surrounding. However, with the current availability of electricity and loud speakers, the practical use of minarets is confined to be just as mosque symbol, exactly as that of the church.
