i wana know that the word mosque is suitabe to use

Answer

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word ?Mosque? in the English language refers to a place of worship for Muslims.

It is correct to use the word, ?Mosque?. However, it is more appropriate to use the Arabic word, ?Masjid?, which means a place where Sajdah is made.
