A Muslim place of worship is called a mosque, also known as 'masjid' in Arabic, which means 'place of prostration.' Unlike a longhouse, which is a type of dwelling used by some Indigenous cultures, a mosque serves as a communal space for prayer and community gatherings. Essentially, mosques are integral to Islamic life, providing a place for worship, unity, and cultural expression.
