Understanding Minarets: Their Significance in Islamic Mosques

Minarets are tall, slender towers that are a common feature of Islamic mosques. They are used for the call to prayer and as a symbol of Islamic faith and architecture. Minarets are typically narrow and tall, with a spiral staircase inside that allows the muezzin (the person who calls the prayer) to climb to the top to deliver the call to prayer. The minaret is usually built in the center of the mosque, and is often the highest point of the building.
