Tole Bi Mosque
History
In the people, this mosque is known under the name "Tastak" - after the name of the microdistrict in which it is located. This is the only mosque in the densely populated Almalin district, so its importance cannot be overestimated. The construction was built in 1999 with the sponsorship of a citizen of the United Arab Emirates.
Urban and Architectural
Due to the small territory allocated for the construction of the Muslim temple, the mosque looks quite compact and even small from the outside. And only inside are its true dimensions revealed. Two spacious prayer halls and a large basement are decorated in classical style. But, at the same time, the building has its own peculiarities - there are no columns, and the dome mosque looks quite traditional.
The total area of the mosque is 600.1 square meters. The capacity of the temple is 200 people. In 2004, a second hall was built with an area of 293 square meters for 500 people. According to Seitbek Kutyshev, imam of the Almaly district of the Tole bi mosque, Tole bi was called the Tastak mosque before the renaming, and was renamed in 2013.
