The mosque in Grozny is called "The Heart of Chechnya". It is a monument to the first president of Chechnya, who was killed by Akhmat-Hadji Kadyrov, and a part of the Islamic complex, whose construction began on April 25, 2006 and ended on October 16, 2008.

The beauty of the Grozny mosque is twice the size and capacity of the Suleymaniye mosque in Istanbul, the prototype of which is. It is also called the prototype of the famous Blue Mosque in the same capital of Turkey. "The heart of Chechnya" is inferior to both only at the age. It has taken its rightful place among the most beautiful and majestic mosques of the Old World and the world. In addition, the mosque in Grozny is the largest in Europe. But most importantly, its dignity is not in unusual beauty and size, but in that it really is the heart of a reborn Chechnya, the heart of a beautiful city completely destroyed and reborn again. It is located in the very center of Grozny, stretching along both banks of the river Sunzha, the tributary of the Terek.

The Mosque "Heart of Chechnya" is on the left bank in the middle of a huge park. As already noted, she, along with the Russian Islamic University named after Kunta-Hadji (Chechen saint, Sunni sheikh) and the Spiritual Board of Muslims of the Chechen Republic make up a magnificent Islamic complex. An indicator of the recognition of its undeniable merits can be the fact that in the vast and most of our Orthodox country at the contest, held in 2013 under the name "Russia 10", the mosque "Heart of Chechnya" was the winner on a daily basis throughout the first round. Only on the last day of voting did the mosque in Grozny give way to the Kolomna Kremlin. In total, 36.8 million people voted for it. She is really extraordinarily beautiful. Any resident of Russia can not but be proud of the fact that before his eyes, in the territory of a city worn out from the face of the earth, such a miracle grows, and that its authors and creators are our contemporaries. Of course, it very much resembles the Cathedral of St. Sophia - Wisdom of God, but the mosque "Heart of Chechnya" is easier, more elegant, more joyful. Both of these buildings are made in the Ottoman style, providing in the religious buildings a dome over the prayer hall, and minarets - 4 or 6, like the Blue Mosque. Maybe the minarets with the height of 63 meters each, the highest in Russia, give a special charm to the Chechen structure.

Unique and unique chandeliers

One of the most important features of the mosque are its 36 chandeliers, which clearly show the connection of times and tribute to the famous and great Islamic religious buildings, shrines of the Muslim religion. So, the Dome of the Rock mosque, or the Kubbatu-as Sahra that is in Jerusalem, imitate 27 chandeliers. Two more shrines of Islam resemble the remaining chandeliers - 8 outlines repeat the mosque in Medina Rovzat-Neubevi. The largest chandelier is dedicated to the Kaaba shrine in the Protected Mosque in Mecca. On the eight-meter crystal, snow-white beauty there is a cube of dark color, because one of the corners of the cubic Kaaba has a Black stone. To create this unique collection of chandeliers (this can be found in each guidebook) went tons of bronze and 2.5 kilograms of the highest gold. Created a masterpiece from a million details. The mosque in Grozny is unique in every respect - with its construction the most advanced methods and the latest achievements in this industry were applied. Modern dyes guarantee the preservation of the color spectrum for 50 years. The best Turkish masters painted it. We can add that the permission to build a mosque in Grozny was obtained back in the Soviet times - in 1980. In 1997, Akhmat Kadyrov - he was still the mufti of Chechnya - the contract was re-negotiated. In 1999, the construction was stopped. In 2008, the son brilliantly finished the work begun by the father.

Beautiful day and night

Everywhere and always indicates a diameter of -16 meters, and the height of the dome above the prayer hall is 32 meters. Shakes the size and mihrab, or prayer niche in the wall. Made of white marble, it reaches 8 meters in height, its width is 4.6 meters. The most beautiful mosque in Grozny (photo in large numbers are widely available) is well advertised and is known to every citizen of Russia, and indeed the whole world. She is beautiful at any time of the day, but especially fabulously good at night. Its highlight is unique. And the whole complex is exceptionally good. A series of fountains leading to the entrance, highlighted by different colors, creates the atmosphere of a beautiful fairy tale from "1001 Nights".

Unique landscape design

It should be noted that around the mosque there is a lot of light and water reflecting and thus multiplying the unusual beauty. A central fountain in the shape of a star is remarkable. The system of numerous channels not only decorates the park and makes the landscape design unique, but also provides regular mechanical watering of trees. The modern, rebuilt and reborn city of Grozny, the mosque "Heart of Chechnya", the entire Islamic complex, the museum of the first president Akhmad Kadyrov - all this splendor is a symbol of the new Chechnya.
