Zaynulla Rasulev Mosque, Mosque in Uchaly, Bashkortostan, Russia

The Zaynulla Rasulev Mosque is a two-storey brick building with three minarets, the main one rising 20 metres from the foundation. The ground floor holds the men's prayer hall, the upper floor is reserved for women, and semi-basement rooms house a kitchen, dining room and classroom. It stands on the edge of Uchaly, where a cottage settlement begins.

This mosque was built in 2009 and named after a Naqshbandi Sufi leader who spent years teaching Islamic practices throughout Bashkortostan. The choice of name links the building to a significant spiritual legacy in the region's past.

The building honors a revered Sufi teacher whose legacy shaped Islamic practice in this region, and it serves as a gathering space where the local Muslim community maintains their traditions. Daily worship and weekly meetings bring people together across different ages and families.

The mosque stands on the edge of Uchaly, where a cottage settlement begins nearby; the site was chosen because the growing city should reach it within about a decade. The building has three floors of use: a men's prayer hall on the ground floor, a women's hall above, and semi-basement rooms holding a kitchen, dining room and classroom. It may be the only mosque in Bashkortostan with a separate entrance for women.

Zaynulla Rasulev was born on 25 March 1833 in Sharipovo, now in Uchaly District. In 1884, with funding from the Kazakh bay Altynsarin, he founded the Rasuliya madrasa in Troitsk, where he added arithmetic, physics, chemistry, geography, drawing and Russian to the theological curriculum.
