Jama Masjid refers to the main mosque of a town, city or village, and is usually the
place of gathering for Eid prayers and Friday prayers.
These are sometimes called Congregational mosques or Friday mosques.
Many places come to be known as a Jama Masjid as a proper name.
These structures are listed below.
Language and etymology The term Jama Masjid means “Mosque of Assembly”
or “Congregational Mosque” and comes from Arabic, Arabic: مسجد الجمعة ‎. Although
the word "Jama" means assembly or congregation, it has been conflated with the word for Friday,
the primary day of worship in Islam, and hence, originally incorrectly, but still sometimes
these are called Friday Mosques, after the Jumu'ah or weekly Friday noon congregation
prayers of Muslims.
In Persian, the term is Persian: مسجد جامع‎ masjed(-e) jāme.
Jameh stems from the root word jám meaning "gathering", as opposed to Jom'ah meaning
"Friday".
