Several studies have been conducted focusing on religious institutions including the qualitative study of Cheema in Pakistan titled “Revealing the hidden role of community-oriented religious institutions in disasters and describing the roles of the mosque and its imam after disasters” [11]. Therefore, this study aims to identify the role of mosques as emergency shelters in accidents and disasters.
