islamic affiliation
Directly connected with the Islamic faith or operated by an organization belonging to it.
An Islamic affiliation is applied to a place (other than a mosque) that has a direct connection with, or belongs to, the Islamic faith.
The direct connection concerns the Islamic faith. A place can belong to a religious organization while serving a function other than worship.
A mosque already identifies Islamic worship through its use. This affiliation concerns other places whose religious connection is distinct from their main function.
