Muhammad Mosque

Reviewed By HINAWASEEM - Islamabad, Pakistan

This building is named after it’s architect Mohammed Abu-Bakr. It is also called Synyk-Kala or destroyed tower, because in 1723 Armies of Peter I heavily bombed canons balls from ships and destroyed the mosques tower. There is a low archway at the mosque’s entrance so that king or beggar entering the mosque bows his head. The age of the mosque was determined by the Arabic inscriptions in a stone tablet stating that it was built in 471 Hijri. This means it was constructed in 1078— 1079 AD. This mosque is perhaps the most ancient building of Azerbaijan.

Juma Mosque

Reviewed By HINAWASEEM - Islamabad, Pakistan

You can see this lovely little mosque in the centre of the Old City. There used to be a Zoroastrian temple here till the 14th century. In 1309 a mosque was built here. This mosque was rebuilt twice first in 1899 and next at the end of the 19th century. It mosque has a Minaret on it’s northern side. During the Soviet era this mosque was saved from destruction because it was converted to a museum. It has separate prayer halls for ladies and men. The ceiling of the dome is very beautiful. Currently it is a fully functioning mosque.
