Introduction
In Islam, masjid (mosque) is a very important institution not only as a religious place of worship but also as a civil and social institution (Sardar and Davies cited in Satha-Anand 2011, p. 6). As a social institution, a mosque represents a reflection of society. Mosques shape and are shaped by their congregation through a long process of internalising the teachings of religion with their attendant social, political, economic, and cultural factors. Although these elements may be common to all mosques, their architecture, type of congregations, administration, voiced sermons, rituals of worship and activities may be very different
