Six mosques dated to the early ninth century all have a single tower or minaret attached to the wall opposite the mihrab. The purpose of the minaret in these mosques was to demonstrate the power of Abbasid religious authority. Those opposed to Abbasid power would not adopt this symbol of conformity, thus Fatimid mosques did not have towers.
Aunque las mezquitas de Damasco, Fustat y Medina tenían torres durante el período omeya, ahora se acepta generalmente que el minarete se introdujo durante el período abasí (es decir, después del 750 d.C.). Seis mezquitas que datan de principios del siglo IX tienen todas una sola torre o minarete adosada a la pared opuesta al mihrab. El propósito del minarete de estas mezquitas era demostrar el poder de la autoridad religiosa abasí. Quienes se oponían al poder abasí no adoptarían este símbolo de conformidad, por lo que las mezquitas fatimíes no tenían torres.»
