minaret is the Christian campanile, without its bell, while the court is like a khann. In connection with mosques are schools where the Koran is taught. In the Mosque Al-Azhar at Cairo is the great university of the Mohammedans, whither students come from all parts of their world, and whence they are sent to propagate their faith. Other establishments, benevolent in character, are also connected with mosques.
