La Grande Mosquée d’Asilah, (fin XVII) voulue par Moulay Ismail après la reconquête de la ville, fut édifiée sur le site d’une église portugaise. Le mur d'enceinte du complexe est couronné de merlons triangulaires. Le minaret à plan octogonal est semblable à celui des mosquées érigées par Ahmed Al Rifi à Tanger, Tétouan et Chefchaouen. La décoration du minaret est assez simple et masquée par plusieurs couches de chaux. Elle est constituée d’une série d’arcatures aveugles polylobées semi-circulaires et brisées à claveaux alternés. Le couronnement est à merlons triangulaires et la lanterne est de dimension réduite.

The word ‘Ramadan’ is derived from the Arabic word Ramdh (رمض), which means, ‘intensely hot’ or ‘burning’. The month of Ramadan is named as such for three reasons:
• One who fasts becomes hot due to thirst.
• Worship and devotion in this month burns away the traces of sin.
• Devotion in this month produces the necessary warmth of love in man for his Creator and fellow beings.

“Allah says in the Qur'an not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. It's who is most righteous. If I go to a mosque - and I'm a basketball player with money and prestige - if I go to a mosque and see an imam, I feel inferior. He's better than me. It's about knowledge.”
