as per bohra beliefs there is more sawab in praying in a 'masjid' than praying in imamat....i m not sure if thats also the view among sunnis...but if it is...then wats the difference between any prayer hall and a masjid.....is a masjid just a place where muslims congregate on a regular basis to pray(as per the sunni school of thought) meaning all prayer halls in effect are masjids.....or there are criterion to differentiate between a prayer hall and a masjid as well...would appreciate any info on this....thanks
