How does one describe a  mosque? What makes up a mosque? Is a minaret a symbol of Islamic  Architecture? What building best describes Islamic Architecture?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I  am afraid the field of architecture has nothing to do with Islam &#8211; the  divine religion. Islamic architecture actually refers to Muslims&#8217;  contribution toward the art over time. A study of the distinctive  features of Islamic architecture would be strictly the study of the  history of Muslim culture and should only be seen as such. Muslim  architecture, in other words, is not based on any direct teachings of  Islam.Therefore the subject is out of our field of study.<\/p>\n<p>The  physical structure of a mosque also has no religious significance. It  is only a building specified for the purpose of worshipping the One God.  It can be any piece of land portioned out for this purpose. Muslims can  construct any kind of building that matches their taste. The common  practice of building minarets was initiated mainly to make it prominent  in a settlement so that people can know where the mosque is situated and  also that the presence of mosques indicates the faith of the local  populace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-06<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6232\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How  would one characterize Islamic Architecture?
