JUMEIRAH MOSQUE DUBAI
Jumeirah Mosque is a dominant landmark of Dubai city.
Built in the medieval Fatimid tradition, this stone structure is a
tribute to modern Islamic architecture. While strolling through the
Mosque at sunset, you will be washed in shadows by this elegant
formation.
The Arabic word for mosque is `masjid‘,
i.e. place of prostration. The holy day of the Islamic week is Friday,
`yaum al jum’a', on which day all adult Muslim men are commanded to go
to the Jumeirah Mosque for prayer (women can perform their prayers at home). The Jumeirah Mosque where Muslims gather especially for the Friday prayer is the `masjid jum’a’, the Grand Mosque.
