Inside the Aimani Kadyrova mosque

The inside of the mosque is no less beautiful. The capacity is designed for 15,000 people. The mosque is open to everyone, the main thing is to follow the rules of visiting and dress code. Taking photos inside the mosque is allowed, but you should not disturb the believers and take pictures of them; depicting people is prohibited in Islam.

Minbar - from here the imam reads his sermon.

Mihrab.

The dome of the mosque is decorated with Arabic script glorifying Allah.

I've never seen chandeliers like these.

The carpet inside the mosque is woven in one piece. But just imagine how long it takes to vacuum it?

On the second floor, through the windows inside the mosque you can see Argun City.

After spending about 45 minutes on Argun and the Aimani Kadyrova Mosque, we went further through the Republic of Chechnya towards Grozny. I will tell you about Grozny in the near future.

Excerpt characterizing Argun (city)

Now he often recalled his conversation with Prince Andrei and completely agreed with him, only understanding Prince Andrei’s thought somewhat differently. Prince Andrei thought and said that happiness can only be negative, but he said this with a tinge of bitterness and irony. As if, by saying this, he was expressing another thought - that all the aspirations for positive happiness invested in us are invested only in order to torment us, not satisfying us. But Pierre, without any second thought, recognized the justice of this. The absence of suffering, the satisfaction of needs and, as a result, the freedom to choose occupations, that is, a way of life, now seemed to Pierre to be the undoubted and highest happiness of a person. Here, now only for the first time, Pierre fully appreciated the pleasure of eating when he was hungry, drinking when he was thirsty, sleeping when he was thirsty, warmth when he was cold, talking with a person when he wanted to talk and listen to a human voice. Satisfaction of needs - good food, cleanliness, freedom - now that he was deprived of all this seemed to Pierre to be perfect happiness, and the choice of occupation, that is, life, now that this choice was so limited, seemed to him such an easy matter that he forgot the fact that an excess of the comforts of life destroys all the happiness of satisfying needs, and the greater freedom to choose occupations, the freedom that education, wealth, position in the world gave him in his life, that this freedom makes the choice of occupations insolublely difficult and destroys the very need and opportunity to study. All Pierre's dreams now aimed at the time when he would be free. Meanwhile, subsequently and throughout his life, Pierre thought and spoke with delight about this month of captivity, about those irrevocable, strong and joyful sensations and, most importantly, about that complete peace of mind, about perfect inner freedom, which he experienced only at this time . When on the first day, getting up early in the morning, he came out of the booth at dawn and first saw the dark domes and crosses of the Novodevichy Convent, saw the frosty dew on the dusty grass, saw the hills of the Sparrow Hills and the wooded bank meandering over the river and hiding in the purple distance, when felt the touch of fresh air and heard the sounds of jackdaws flying from Moscow across the field, and when then suddenly light splashed from the east and the edge of the sun solemnly floated out from behind the clouds, and domes, and crosses, and dew, and the distance, and the river, everything began to sparkle in a joyful light , - Pierre felt a new, unexperienced feeling of joy and strength of life. And this feeling not only did not leave him throughout his captivity, but, on the contrary, grew in him as the difficulties of his situation increased. This feeling of readiness for anything, of moral integrity was even more supported in Pierre by the high opinion that, soon after his entry into the booth, was established about him among his comrades. Pierre with his knowledge of languages, with the respect that the French showed him, with his simplicity, who gave everything that was asked of him (he received an officer's three rubles a week), with his strength, which he showed to the soldiers by pressing nails into the wall of the booth , with the meekness that he showed in his treatment of his comrades, with his incomprehensible ability to sit still and think without doing anything, he seemed to the soldiers to be a somewhat mysterious and superior being. Those very qualities of him, which in the world in which he lived before were, if not harmful, then embarrassing for him - his strength, disregard for the comforts of life, absent-mindedness, simplicity - here, among these people, gave him the position of almost a hero . And Pierre felt that this look obliged him. On the night of October 6th to 7th, the movement of the French speakers began: kitchens and booths were broken down, carts were packed, and troops and convoys were moving. At seven o'clock in the morning a convoy of Frenchmen, in marching uniform, in shakos, with guns, knapsacks and huge bags, stood in front of the booths, and animated French conversation, sprinkled with curses, rolled along the entire line.
