From Wikipedia
The Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque (Chechen: Кадыров Ахьмадан цӀарах дина маьждиг, romanized: Kadirov Ahmadan ċarax dina mäƶdig; Russian: Мечеть Ахмата Кадырова, romanized: Mechet Akhmata Kadyrova) is located in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. The mosque is one of the largest in Russia and is officially known as "The Heart of Chechnya" (Chechen: Нохчийчоьнан дог, romanized: Noxçiyçönan dog; Russian: Сердце Чечни, romanized: Serdtse Chechni).
It stands in the place of the former Presidential Palace in Grozny, which was destroyed by Russian forces in the First Chechen War. The mosque is named after Akhmad Kadyrov, the first president of the Republic of Chechnya and father of the current president of the Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. The construction of the mosque was commissioned by the mayor of the Turkish city of Konya. The mosque's design includes a set of 62-metre (203 ft)-tall minarets which are based upon those of the early seventeenth century Sultan Ahmed Mosque (known also as the Blue Mosque) in Istanbul.
On October 16, 2008, the mosque was officially opened in a ceremony where Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov appeared and had a talk with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
The mosque is located on the picturesque banks of the Sunzha River in the middle of a huge park (14 hectares) and is part of an Islamic architectural complex, which in addition to the mosque, consists of the Russian Islamic University, the Kunta-Haji, and the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Chechnya.
