The main function of the minaret is to provide a vantage point from which the call to prayer is made (adhan). Provide a visual cue to a Muslim community.In the past Minarets also function as air conditioning mechanisms: as the sun heats the dome, air is drawn in through open windows then up and out of the minaret, thereby providing natural ventilation.
