Each mosque has one or more fairly tall minarets, which actually have loudspeakers and 5 times a day call to prayer. The mosques are strategically distributed throughout the cities of the country: no matter where you are, you will always have one nearby.
Entering a mosque gives us peace, invites us to reflection, contemplation and meditation. Turkey is a secular country, but the vast majority of its population is Muslim. Sunni Muslims have 5 daily calls to prayer, in which they summon the faithful (in Arabic) to the "salat", the obligatory prayer. They are recited by the muezzin, chosen by the community for this task.
The schedules of these prayers vary according to the time of the year, since they depend on the rising and setting of the sun.
Light represents God in the Islamic religion. Allah considers all men equal, so none should stand out from the others. Thus, light should be evenly distributed throughout the prayer rooms inside the mosque. The space should be illuminated just enough to give peace and tranquility.
