Mosques are usually covered buildings, but can be any place where prayers ( sujud) are performed, including outdoor courtyards.

The pulpit ('' minbar''), from which the Friday (jumu'ah) sermon (''khutba'') is delivered, was in earlier times characteristic of the central city mosque, but has since become common in smaller mosques.
