About the place
The mosque was built very quickly in 2007, the year Tashkent was named a capital of Islamic culture, and the first Friday prayer was held in July that year. Its name is linked to the scholar Kaffal Shashi.
The column-free prayer hall is 77 metres long and holds about 5,000 people. Two minarets rise 52 metres, and the courtyard porches stand on carved columns 8.6 metres tall made of sandalwood brought from India. The Barak Khan madrasa stands on the same square.
Why go
- Carved sandalwood columns in the courtyard
