Musholla. It is an Islamic sacred building, called "musholla", which is used for the five daily obligatory prayers and the recitation of the Koran. Musholla can take two forms. Either in the form of a separate room inside the buildings. For example, in public institutions, airports, family houses and the like, or as a separate building.
