_Akhatʹ-Dzhami Mosque (Ahat Jami Mosque)

Information

Akhatʹ-Dzhami mosque was built in the town of Ukraine named Donets Basin after the Soviet Union was split into seven sovereign central nation states in the early 1990s.  The name of the mosque was placed in honor of the businessman of Ukraine whose name was Akhat Bragain, whereas one of the two Minarets was named to honor Rinat Akhmetov.

The mosque has one dome and two minarets. The design of the mosque was taken from one of the mosques in Istanbul. The mosque has a two storey building where first storey houses an Islamic University, the only Islamic education centre of its nature in Donetsk.

The original plan was to have one minaret of the mosque. Due to the flow of additional funds it became easily possible to build one more minaret with the subsequent financing of the project by Rinat Akhmetov.

Although the mosque is small, only sufficient for 700 people at one time yet it is well planned with a single prayer hall laden with a beautiful Carpet.  There are a few chairs placed for the convenience of elderly people who feel uncomfortable to offer prayers while standing.

The most important thing about this mosque is that the people of the area found the right time to set up a university in this small mosque for the Muslims community. The people thought that the upcoming generation should be provided as much knowledge about Islam as far as their resources allow.
