Ismailis do go to mosques, but they may refer to them by different names, such as jamatkhana or husseiniyah.
Here's a breakdown:
- Ismailis are a branch of Shia Islam.
- Mosques are places of worship for Muslims.
- Jamatkhana is a term used by Ismailis for their places of worship.
- Husseiniyah is another term used by Ismailis, often referring to a specific type of jamatkhana.
While Ismailis share many religious practices with other Muslims, their specific interpretations and traditions lead to variations in their terminology and practices.
Ismailis often use the term "jamatkhana" to emphasize the communal aspect of their religious gatherings and the importance of community in their faith.
