One of the parts annexed to the main plan of the mosque is the elevated building of minaret, and it is from this part of the mosque that muezzin’s call to prayer is recited and Muslims can hear it. In the dictionary, minaret means a place for holding light, and it was basically a narrow tall building which was built in the middle of roads as a guiding pole. Because they used to light a fire on top of it to make nocturnal journeys less difficult for wayfarers, they were called minaret or a place for holding light. Minaret is a building that existed even before the advent of Islam. Even though only a few of them have been left, the evidence shows that minaret, or the pole for guiding caravans on the road was also built in Pre-Islamic era.
