About Camilerimiz Grubu Fotoğraflar, Resimler ve Videolar Paylaşım

Müslümanların kutsal ibadet mekanıdır. Arapça'dan gelen bir sözcüktür. Cem’ (Toplanma, bir araya gelme) kökünden gelen cami "toplayan, bir araya getiren yer, toplanma yeri" demektir. Her kıtada ve ülkede değişik göz alıcı mimari tarzlar ve süslemelerle yapılır. Mescit (Mescid) sözcüğü ise yine Arapça'daki secd(e)’den türeyip secdeye varılan yer, ibadet yeri demektir. İspanya'da yaşayan İslam Uygarlığı Endülüsler'den miras kalan ve cami demek olan ‘mezquita’ sözüğünün ‘mescid’den geldiği çok açık olup, İngilizce'de de bundan dolayı camiye ‘mosque’ denmektedir. Zaman içinde bu dini mimarilerde küçüklere mescit, büyüklere cami denilmiştir. Büyük camilere selatin camileri denir. Üstü açık yerlere namazgah denilmiştir.

A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid, Arabic: مسجد‎ — pronounced [ˈmæsʤɪd] (pl. masājid, Arabic: مساجد‎ — /mæˈsæːʤɪd/). The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the larger, "collective" mosque (Arabic: جامع‎, masjid jāmiʕ), which has more community and social amenities.

The primary purpose of the mosque is to serve as a place where Muslims can come together for prayer. Nevertheless, mosques are known around the world nowadays for their general importance to the Muslim community as well as their demonstration of Islamic architecture. They have developed significantly from the open-air spaces that were the Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Nabawi in the seventh century. Today, most mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but now exist on all the world's inhabited continents. They are not only places for worship and prayer, but also places to learn about Islam and meet fellow believers.
