This paper analyzes the position and role of the mosque as a factor in the formation,
transformation and development of Muslim–inhabited cities, from many neighborhoods to the
entire city, and shows proof linking mosque structure with the structure
of a city and of
neighborhoods, while having the moral and material dimensions. In this regard, considering a
comprehensive view of the mosques in the structure and design of cities and neighborhoods, is
not seen as a single element of architecture, but as the role of historical mosques and religious
beliefs and changes from a traditional society to a modern one. However, in the form of urban
solutions, it is the physical development of the neighborhood, because the mosque has always
been an integral part of Muslim–inhabited areas and more than its constituent elements in
bringing about change and urban development.
