Cycle rickshaw collecting man from the mosque? (6)

I believe the answer is:

cleric

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'man from the mosque?' is the definition.
'cleric' can be an answer for 'man' (I have seen 'Religious man' mean 'cleric' so perhaps 'man' could also mean 'cleric'). I am not sure about the 'from the mosque?' bit.

'cycle rickshaw collecting' is the wordplay.
'collecting' indicates a hidden word.
'CLERIC' is hidden in the letters of 'cycle rickshaw'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cleric that I've seen before include "Person ordained to the Christian ministry" , "Member of the clergy" , "One ordained" , "Divine" , "Person in holy orders" .)
