Ankara september 2011 9084.jpg

The mihrab and the minber of the Hacı Bayram Camii.

Mihrab = a semicircular niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca and hence the direction that Muslims should face when praying. The wall in which a mihrab appears is the "qibla wall."
Minber = a pulpit in the mosque where the imam (prayer leader) stands to deliver sermons.

Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.
