Şakirin Mosque is a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. The building is located at one of the entrances of Karacaahmet Cemetery in Üsküdar. It was built by the Semiha Şakir Foundation in memory of İbrahim Şakir and Semiha Şakir and opened on 7 May 2009. According to newspaper reports, it is the most carbon-neutral mosque in Turkey. KARACAAHMET CEMETERY AND MOSQUE It is the largest of Turkey and one of the biggest cemeteries of the world. Karacaahmet covers 750 acres of land where the Sultan lodge is also found. It is firstly thought that the soldiers, who were killed during the siege of Istanbul by the Arabs, were buried here. The cemetery named after Karaca Ahmet sent to Istanbul by Haci Bektas-i Veli to spread Islam. Karacaahmet Cemetery was expropriated four times including in 1917, 1940, 1956, 1974. During this expropriating, it was severely damaged especially during the confiscation of highways in 1974. Total number of burials is not known precisely as records were not kept in the past but they are expressed in millions. It contains the graves of many important names of Turkish political and cultural life. Tombstones and sarcophaguses pose important art properties with different types of headings. The inscription on the tombstone has the value of art, if they were prepared by a calligrapher's hand. Karacaahmet Mosque (Fethi Ahmet Pasha Mosque); is located; in Kapı Agasi location and opposite the Karacaahmet Sultan tomb. In the 1934 City Directory, it is seen that there is a path on three sides of the mosque. On Kiblah side of the mosque and across the road, 1855 dated Fethi Ahmet Pasha Fountain, the family cemetery of Serasker Namik Pasha and Fethi Ahmet Pasha, 1741 dated fountains and public fountain of Sadeddin Efendi are located on the left side of the tomb of Sultan Karacaahmet. We are aware that there is a fountain which was built in 1545-46 by Grand Vizier Rustem Pasha in the place where the mosque is, or on the right side of the tomb of Sultan Karacaahmet and is square today, with Masons Mosque built by Mehmet Aga the officer of Mihrimah Sultan Mosque died in 1548. The sanctuary ruined as the time went by, made rebuilt as it looks today by Fethi Ahmet Pasha in 1855. The mosque has stone walls and minaret and wooden roof and it is plastered. Opposite the mosque, there is the tomb of a person renowned under the name Himmet Dede, who died in 1631-32.

If you like modern design and newer style mosques then this is the mosque for you. I personally do not prefer and prefer the old classic, but it does not matter where to pray, as long as it is sincere. The Sakirin Mosque is known as the first designed by a woman thanks to the significant contribution of the designer Fadillioglu to the work of the architect Husrev Tayla. This achievement follows her contemporary approach to design. The dome is covered with aluminum panels in the shape of fish scales, and the facades are finished with stone and aluminum mesh. The lighting strategy and the water element in the courtyard, the bronze and glass doors and the chandelier were designed by Fadillioglu to enrich the space with art. Likewise, the symbolic mihrab, mimber and calligraphy are new interpretations of ancient Seljuk Turkish traditions. The overall effect is far from the interior design of a typical mosque.

В 2009 году, была построена это величественное сооружение — мечеть Шакирин. Эта не совсем обычная мечеть хотя бы потому, что к ее созданию приложили руку не только турецкие архитекторы, но и мастера из других стран. Вы можете придти, и посмотреть, что получилось из такого прекрасного симбиоза восточных и западных умов?Эта мечеть, сделана из стекла и бетона. Во дворе мечети расположился симпатичный фонтан, в форме шара. Когда по шару стекает вода, то в нем отражается сама мечеть. Очень завораживает взгляд, и невозможно оторвать глаз, чувство, что слегка гипнотизирует. Находится между районом Кадыкёй и Ускюдаре (Üsküdar), рядом со входом на крупнейшее кладбище Караджа Ахмед (кипарисовое кладбище, старейшее сохранившееся захоронение в нем датируется 1521 годом). С виду совсем не похожая на традиционную мечеть, тем не менее она обладает всеми признаками, присущими для мусульманского храма: внутренний двор; купола; минареты. Мечеть Шакирин и внутренним убранством отличается от других мечетей в Стамбуле. Здесь мы видим золотисто-бирюзовый михраб, больше похожий на морскую раковину, и мини-бар из акрила (а не из дерева и камня), но с традиционными ступенями для чтения проповедей. Женщинам в этой мечети дозволено молиться на балконе. Но я там не была, и фотографий нет. Вход разрешен не только мусульманам, но и простым туристам. Осмотр занял у меня не более 30 минут, но т.к. мой маршрут до конечной точки шел через кладбище, то через него шла 35 мин. Территория кладбища очень большая. Поражает своим разнообразием и величием. Очень много ходят людей и ездит машин. Так же на кладбище есть собаки, которые вальяжно греются на солнце. Везде веет спокойствием, и умиротворением. Территория очень чистая и ухоженная. Мечети различаются по назначению и, соответственно, по правилам строительства. Квартальная мечеть предназначена для ежедневной пятикратной молитвы. Соборная мечеть (джума-мечеть) предназначена для коллективной молитвы, совершаемой всей общиной. Она отличается наличием минбара – кафедры, с которой имам произносит пятничную проповедь – хутбу. Минбар устанавливается справа от михраба (молитвенная ниша в стене мечети, обращенной к Мекке), имеет вид высокого трона, к которому ведет лестница с перилами и декоративным входом-порталом. Соборная мечеть – наглядный аспект величия мусульманских правителей. Именно поэтому она всегда отличается богатством убранства и декора. Сами решайте, идти или не идти. Очень жаль, что фотографии не видно целиком, почему то урезали формат. На фото 2 кормушка для кошек, стоит на ступеньках.

A small mosque, but with a beautiful poetry of space and presentation. This is the first ever mosque to have its interiors to be designed by a woman, Zeynep Fadıllıoğlu.

Her contributions include a large metal sphere above the entrance, a graceful curved minbar and a glass chandelier crafted in China. Conscious of the need to pay special attention to women, she has ensured that the women's upper gallery matches the men's area of the mosque in both size and beauty. It is separated from the...
