The Great Mosque of Kairouan |
The first mosques erected in early Muslim time did not have minarets –
the believers were called to prayer by the muezzin standing on the
mosque roof. The lowest storey of
the minaret in Kairouan is the oldest example of minaret in the entire
world, and dates back to 730, more than 100 years after the commence of
Islam. |
