Iman means faith. Muslims can show their faith by attending the Mosque; but they do not have to.
When in the Mosque a Muslim can show their faith by worshipping God through prayer. They may do this 5 times a day (this does not have to be in a mosque).
To perform a prayer in the mosque a Muslim would hear the call to prayer, take off their shoes, perform ablution, face Makkah and then perform a series of rak’ahs.
The belief of Monotheism can be seen in a mosque as there will be no idols or statues only geometric patterns or calligraphy.
