Etymology

The word 'masjid' originates from the Arabic term 'masjid', which means 'a place of prostration'. It has its roots in the religious practices of Islam, where Muslims bow down in prayer as a sign of submission to Allah. The concept of masjid has been integral to Islamic worship since the time of Prophet Muhammad, who established the first masjid in Medina. Over the centuries, masjids have evolved in architecture and function, but their core purpose of serving as a spiritual center remains unchanged.
