Each Friday, men of Islam are expected to attend the khutba sermon, typically held in a larger mosque known as a Jama. Since the Friday prayer is a mandatory weekly sermon, many men travel to reach a Jama – Thus they are invariably huge, impressive structures, showing every sign of opulence and richness that Islamic mandate allows.
通常,男性穆斯林會於大清真寺參加週五主麻聚禮,傾聽伊瑪目宣講布道,許多人甚至不惜長途跋涉至此。故而,大清真寺必須極為雄偉宏大,以容納諸多信徒,其內部華麗浮奢的裝飾亦為伊斯蘭教義所許可。 |
