Almaty - The Mosque

Even though most Kazakhs are Moslems, there was no central mosque in Almaty during Soviet times. After independence one mosque was built at the edge of downtown near the Sayakhat bus station. An inscription by the entrance in three languages indicates that the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, donated from his private funds for the construction of the mosque.

Reading the Kazhakh dedication was hopeless, the Russian difficult, but the Arabic was pretty clear...
