The Mosque and Its Role in Society

by A. Belteshazzar& B. Abednego

More than a house of worship, the mosque has a critical and authoritative role in the cultural and political life of Muslims, with immediate social implications.

The word mosque – Masjid in Arabic – is derived from the root word sajada or suju, meaning to prostrate, which is normally viewed as worship. Worship in Islam is upholding and implementing the revealed law of Allah – the Shari’ah. This implementation of the Shari’ah is not a matter of choice, but of enforcement on oneself and others, be it willingly or unwillingly.

Review:
Written from a very traditional patriarchal perspective… Not helpful in today’s society and in dealing with today’s Muslim community issues…
