The opening of a religious and educational institution for Muslims is scheduled for October. The two-story building was erected with the support of Governor Dmitry Artyukhov next to the administrative premises at the Cathedral Mosque. Work on the site began in 2020. The madrasah will serve as a secondary general education school. Inside, classrooms are provided – separately for women and men, a mufti’s office, a teacher’s room, a conference room, a library, a room for eating and others. Furniture and equipment, including interactive whiteboards, computers, office equipment, have already been purchased. It is planned to recruit three classes of 20 people, a teacher from Ufa has been invited, writes Sever Press. ADVERTISEMENT “At this school, parishioners and children will be able to receive the basics of religious education and morality,” said Khaidar Khafizov, Mufti of the Regional Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the YNAO. – From time immemorial in Rus’, each mosque had a madrasah. Priests will not be trained here. The goal is for our younger generation to have an understanding of traditional Islam.” Recall that the wooden madrasah was built in Novy Urengoy in 2008 by the Turkish company Yamata, but in September 2014 there was a fire, the building was almost completely burned out. The new school is almost ready, it remains to mount the dome.

The dimensions of the mosque are 22 x 12 m. The building area of the mosque is 555.5 sq.m., the total area of the building is about 850 sq.m.
