Xösäyeniä, Islamic madrasa in Orenburg, Russia
The Xösäyeniä building contains several prayer halls, classrooms for religious studies, and living quarters arranged around a central courtyard with a fountain.
Founded in 1906, this educational institution became a center for Islamic studies during a period of religious and educational reform in pre-revolutionary Russia.
Students at Xösäyeniä study traditional Islamic texts, Arabic language, mathematics, and sciences following a curriculum that combines religious and secular subjects.
The madrasa opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through advance reservations at the administration office near the main entrance.
The building contains a special library section housing more than 5,000 manuscripts and texts in Arabic, Persian, and Tatar languages dating from the 18th century.
