Five times a day, the "müezzin" calls the faithful to prayer in the mosque.
Before entering a mosque, Muslims wash themselves and remove their shoes.
Foreign visitors should also remove their shoes and show the respect they would
any other house of worship and avoid visiting the mosque durin prayer time.
Women should cover their heads and ams, and not wear miniskirts. Men should not
wear shorts. (In certain famous mosques, overalls are provided for those not
suitably dressed.)
