A mosque, Arabic masjid, or "jami" in Islam is any dwelling or open location for worship. The Arabic term "masjid" denotes "a place of prostration" before God, and it is also used in Persian, Urdu, and Turkish. A mosque should be distinguished from a church, which is referred to as a "kubbeh" in Arab language. In Islam, the cardinal principle of religion is prayer, so Muslims always seek out a place where they can pray in peace. Since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, mosques have been built where it is easiest for humans to kneel down (or prostrate) face-toward-heaven while standing up, such as near a wall or in a corner. Thus the typical Muslim prayer space is slightly elevated above ground level, with a domed ceiling that allows room for God's spirit to enter one's body when praying. Prayer times are determined by religious authorities in each country/community, and vary depending on the needs of the people. For example, Islamic prayers can be offered five times per day, while others may only need to be said once. Prayer times also include breaks between prayers, such as after each section of the Quran has been recited. These breaks are called "pauses" and last either five or ten minutes depending on the teacher of Islam.
