In the sacred religion of Islam great stress has been laid on the offering of prayers in a masjid. Masjidul Haram is superior to all the masjids and after it the order of priority is as follows: Masjidun Nabi (in Medina), Masjidul Kufa (in Kufa), Masjid baytul Maqdis (Jerusalem). Then comes the number of Jami' Masjid (centra) mosque) of every city and thereafter the masjids situated in the streets and bazaars may be resorted to.
