A mosque or masjid is a place of worship for followers of Islam. The word entered the English language most likely through French (mosquée), from Portuguese (mesquita), from Spanish (mezquita), and from Berber (tamezgida), ultimately originating in Arabic: masjid.
In this blog I have compiled a list of beautiful mosques from all over the world.
