From the Community

The most important knowledge about a mosque often belongs not to scholars but to the communities who have prayed in it for generations.The mosques featured in our mosque database draw on published research and architectural documentation, but some of the most important knowledge about a mosque lives with the people who know it firsthand.

This page is for that knowledge.

From the Community is a space for submitted photos and personal accounts of mosques from around the world - mosques you have visited, prayed in, or call home. 

If you have a mosque you would like to share, you are welcome to get in touch using the contact form below. Include the mosque name, city, and country, along with any context you would like to share. Let us know whether you would like to be credited by name or remain anonymous.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Note: Submissions will be reviewed and posted at our discretion, and this section will remain clearly separate from our editorial posts, which follow their own research standards. By submitting a photo, you confirm that you took it yourself or have the rights to share it. Submitted images remain your property. We do not claim ownership of any community-submitted photography.
