What are some common elements found in islamic mosques

Minarets and elaborate tile work.

Explanation:

These are some common elements found in Islamic mosques. A minaret is a slender tower that is usually found next to a mosque. The main purpose of the minaret is to serve as a tower from which to call Muslims to prayer. Another element found in mosques is elaborate tile work. This is a common feature of Islamic architecture, although it is mainly found in the Middle East and North of Africa (as opposed to other regions with Muslim population).
