Nauan Hazrat Mosque

Nauan Hazrat Mosque, Mosque in Kokshetau, Kazakhstan.

Nauan Hazrat Mosque is a large prayer house in Kokshetau with four minarets and a central dome. The two-story interior accommodates roughly 1,400 worshippers while separating prayer areas by gender.

Construction began in March 2010 and the mosque opened on 16 September 2015, the day of the 550th anniversary of the Kazakh Khanate. It was funded by a special historical and cultural heritage fund and by worshippers' donations through asar, the Kazakh custom of mutual help. It is named after the local religious figure Nauan Hazrat (1843–1916); the older mosque that had borne his name was renamed after Zhakiya Beisenbayev.

The mosque is named after Nauryzbay Talasov (1843–1916), a theologian known as Nauan Hazrat who preached Muslim morality and defended Kazakh rights under tsarist rule. The old mosque that had borne his name was renamed after Zhakiya Beisenbayev when this building received the name in 2015.

The building stands in central Kokshetau, with the main entrance on the ground floor leading to the men's prayer hall; women reach the balcony hall on the second floor. Worshippers remove their shoes and perform ablution in the dedicated rooms before prayer. Visitors should dress modestly and avoid entering during services.

The inner side of the dome carries the 99 names of Allah, painted with liquid gold, and a seven-metre chandelier hangs beneath it. The outer walls are faced with aglay stone, which takes on pinkish tones at sunset.
