Islam /
Structures

Traditions and history has secured a rigid and limited number of religous buildings, things developed quickly over the first two centuries of Islamic history. Mosques can technically be divided into regular mosques and Friday mosques, masjids and jama'as, but there is little uniform for this distinction.
Islamic schools belong largely to two categories, higher institutions in mosques, from where many universities have been developed, and the regular madrasa, which can range from a primary school to secondary school.
Two more structures are listed here, the zawiyya which is a central part of popular Islam and the Ka'ba, a unique structure that forms the geographical and symbolic centre of Islam.
