"The mosque in the rural center is considered a collective institution shared by the people of the roundabout, and an essential part of its infrastructure, as it is not just a place of worship or a mosque only; Because it is a space that embraces - in addition to prayer - various functions such as teaching children, washing the dead, and storing drinking water in the dry months.
