Information –
The Aktobe city mosque was closed in 1929. The clergy were repressed. The buildings adjacent to the mosque were demolished during the Great Patriotic War for the construction of factories for X-ray equipment and agricultural machinery. The mosque building served as a publishing house and warehouse for a drama theater. In 1991, the mosque was returned to Muslims. The mosque is located in a convenient location for city residents. There are many educational institutions here. There is a bazaar nearby, which is visited by a large number of Muslims. The mosque building has two (large and small) domes and two towers (long and short). 1250 (before reconstruction 200) Muslims can pray here at the same time. Inside there is a three-story building with separate prayer halls for men and women, administrative offices and a canteen. The territory was renovated, the adjacent territory was returned to the mosque, where a parking lot was organized.
