Mosque of Twenty-Five Prophets

At first, the Ihsanov family and volunteers manually flooded the foundation. At the same time there was a filling of the ravine: every spring the place of work was flooded with meltwater, and the ravine turned into a lake, which could be crossed only by boat. Professional builders called the idea of Ihsanov a gamble, but he achieved it: a huge ravine disappeared.

All the drawings and calculations of the future building of the Mosque Ihsanov made himself. At the same time, the project of the mosque was repeatedly changed during the construction and the final appearance was found only in 2009. The building consists of two parts: underground and terrestrial. The underground part is a hand-crafted concrete monolith 12.5 meters long and 15 meters high. As it was erected, the entire area around the mosque - three hectares - was covered with soil, forming a new level on which, in turn, the ground part of the building, made of brick, was erected. In the underground part there are two floors: the upper - for the reading room, the lower - sleeping. In the ground two-story part are the main rooms for prayer - men's and women's floors.
