They pray facing towards the city of Mecca, which is the home city of their prophet, Muhammad. They all are also supposed to visits Mecca once in their lifetime, make a pilgrimage there.

Pretty muich everyone prays in some formation - the whole kneeling thing started it. Personally, I think it has to do with standing up for yourself - the lower the praying, the less respect for individual humans.

It is a efficient way of housing all those worshipers. Its a kin to why Soldiers march in formation. Its orderly.

That is what the angel Gabriel conveyed to Muhammed for God's followers to do - it is showing submission to God and asking for protection five times a day.

How rude. They are facing Mecca and mosques tend to be crowded.
