When you approach a mosque you will see a minaret. The minaret is a tower like structure and is a traditional part of a mosque. On the top of the minaret is the crescent moon and star which is a common symbol for Islam. It is generally used by the muezzin, who calls people to prayer by chanting from the top of the tower. Often a recorded call is used today..In the entrance of a common mosque hall there can be a small office and a distribution centre for programs and newsletters. Verses taken out of the Qur'an are often written and displayed throughout the mosque. The prayer hall should b in front of you. Before going any further into the mosque, shoes are removed and placed on a special rack. This shows respect for the mosque as well as keeps it clean..
