The main dimensions of services quality of the mosque, which were identified in the research, are: interaction, reliability of saying prayers, availability, executives’ quality, quality of apparent elements, and variety of services. Continuing the process, interaction dimension was analyzed into nine indicators, reliability of saying prayers dimension into five, availability dimension into four, executives’ quality dimension into four, tangibles dimension into nine, and variety of services dimension into five indicators. According to the experts’ viewpoints and with the help of Freidman’s ranking test the most important and effective element in services quality of the mosque is the saying prayers quality.
