Ar-Rahma Mosque

Ar-Rahma Mosque is a prayer house for Muslims in Kyiv with a striking dome structure. The main building has a large prayer hall with carpets and smaller side rooms for various functions.

The first request for a prayer house came in the late 1800s when Muslims began forming a community in Kyiv. The current building reflects the growth and recognition of this religious group in the city over time.

The mosque incorporates materials from different countries, including decorative elements from Azerbaijan and extensive prayer hall carpets from Turkey.

The prayer place has clear areas for worship and offers space for large crowds. Visitors should be aware of prayer times and enter the grounds with respect.

The mosque houses what believers consider to be a hair of Prophet Muhammad, making it a place of particular significance for Ukrainian Muslims.
