The construction of the mosque was commissioned by the AlmatyGiproGor Institute, and the work was carried out by the IrtyshTransStroy company. The building's foundation is shaped like an octagonal star with eight points, measuring 48 by 48 meters in diameter. The mosque's minarets rise 63 meters, symbolically representing the age of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
The main dome, 54 meters high, is based on the shape of a shanyrak, a round opening at the top of a yurt. The men's prayer room, which can accommodate up to 1,200 people, is 33 meters high and 30 meters in diameter. The total area of the mosque is 7,240 square meters.
The building has two floors. The foundation is made of brick, and the domes are metal. The crystal "Zumrad" chandelier, with 434 lamps and decorating the interior of the mosque, was made in Tashkent. The mosque's architecture is designed to resemble an open heart, symbolizing the building's purpose for goodness and openness to the world.
The ground floor of the mosque houses the madrasah's classrooms, a 300-seat prayer room for women, a wedding hall, a 300-seat dining hall with utility rooms, an ablution room, and a cloakroom. The wedding hall and dining hall can be combined by removing the removable walls. The first floor houses a 1,200-seat prayer hall for men, a museum of Muslim culture, a library, a projection room, and offices. The main entrance to the building provides access to the first floor.
