Its been observed that most of us write "MOSQUE" for "Masjid" and even call it a Mosque in daily routine. But what elders and teachers say is that the word "MOSQUE" means the house of mosquitoes not Masjid. In an Era, when muslims were?spreading Islam and very quickly, an Italian (or Spanish), basically non-muslim Leader said ''Muslims are spreading like mosquitoes" thus this word has been attached. So please be careful next time. Instead of writing mosque, u can write MASJID it doesn't matter..
MECCA as well
