- This is the first mosque in Rus­sia built in the high-tech style — its archi­tec­ture resem­bles a futur­is­tic ship.
— The dome of the mosque can change col­or depend­ing on the light­ing and weath­er, and at night it is illu­mi­nat­ed with mul­ti-col­ored LEDs.
— Inside, there is a giant chan­de­lier with a diam­e­ter of about 31 meters and a weight of 5 tons, dec­o­rat­ed with vers­es from the Koran.
— The mosque can accom­mo­date up to 15,000 peo­ple and cov­ers an area of more than 6,900 m².
— The floors are cov­ered with car­pets with pat­terns of tulips and pome­gran­ates, cus­tom-made in Turkey.
— The open­ing of the mosque was accom­pa­nied by the marathon “From Heart to Heart” — par­tic­i­pants ran 16.4 km from the “Heart of Chech­nya” mosque in Grozny to Argun.
— The archi­tec­ture has caused a mixed reac­tion — some admire its moder­ni­ty, oth­ers con­sid­er the style too avant-garde for a reli­gious build­ing.
— The mosque is sur­round­ed by a well-kept park with foun­tains, streams with fish and fruit trees, cre­at­ing an atmos­phere of com­fort and peace.
— It has become not only a reli­gious but also a tourist sym­bol of Chech­nya, reflect­ing the region’s desire for mod­ern­iza­tion.
