    According to Lanes Dictionery

    Sajada to God, Men or anything else = to solute, to pay respect, to honour, to magnify

    Tasjodu = to bend or incline due to the influence of something ( e.g with the wind or the the sun)

    Sajood = Obedience as a fact to be believed without inquiry in the manner thereof (he stood erect)

    Masjid = any place where one performs the act of sajood.

    So is a msjd any place where an action envisaged by God or anything else is performed, or carried out?

      I highly recommend
      http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-masjid-quran.html
      http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-masjid-al-haram-Quran.html

      I have not seen an article discussing this issue in more detail than the above.

      All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

        Peace Wakas,

        Interesting articles. But is there no such thing as "house of God" then?

        God bless you

          peace MofF,

          You may have to clarify what you mean by "house of God" but you may find the answer here, see halfway through the article after "additional notes"
          http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/meaning-hajj-Quran.html

          I discuss "al bayt" there.

            Peace Wakas,

            What I meant was if there are any temples at all according to you as in location to gather up, for example, to glorify God together. I am interested in that question myself lately.

            God bless you

              There is some implication of this, e.g. 2240, 2436, 1087, and I don't see a problem with that. It also depends on what one understands "masjid" to mean, as many take it to refer to a building, although in my view there is little evidence for that as per Quran.

              Also, I see very little to no evidence for a building to be sacred or venerated. The building is not special, what goes on in it is what is special. They could be used for communal governance issues, education etc, not just for glorification etc.

              All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                if you met up with friends and prayed in a park or in your backyard that is a play whwere the praises of Allah are celebrated. it is dedicated to ALLAH so you figure it out from there.
