Towering over central Grozny, the capital of the Republic of Chechnya in southern Russia, is the Heart of Chechnya mosque, one of the largest in the world. In Russia itself, by size and capacity it is inferior only to the Moscow Cathedral Mosque and the Central Juma Mosque of Makhachkala in the neighboring Republic of Dagestan. It is one of the largest Islamic prayer centers in the world.The mosque is designed in the classical Ottoman style, and is based on the main architectural masterpiece of the Ottoman Empire — the world famous Sultanahmet Mosque (a.k.a. the Blue Mosque) in Istanbul. Indeed, it was largely Turkish specialists who worked on the project in Grozny. For the exterior, rare travertine marble was brought from the Turkish coast of the Sea of ​​Marmara. As for the interior, it is decorated with white marble and gold-painted verses from the Quran.

The upper section of the dome is adorned with a calligraphic rendering of Surah 112 “Al-Ikhlas” from the Quran, which reads: “Allah is One, the Eternal God; He begot none nor was He begotten. None is equal to Him.”
