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.

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.

Great looking mosque. Architecture of the mosque is unique with no concrete walls but all surrounded with windows. Windows makes it difficult to heat up inside the mosque but it is still worth the look. I am not sure if they have floor heating system under the carpets but if they don't have that would be the only negative side of it. At least when I was in the mosque the ground was was not heated and it was really cold inside. Outside of the mosque is decorated with nice looking fountain at the courtyard. It is located just at the main entrance of karaca Ahmet cemetery. It is worth to see.

Üsküdar Şakirin Camii, İstanbul'un Üsküdar ilçesinde yer alan ve modern İslam mimarisinin dikkat çekici örneklerinden biridir. 2009 yılında tamamlanan bu cami, mimari tasarımı ve estetik özellikleriyle diğer camilerden farklılık gösterir. Cami, Semiha Şakir Vakfı tarafından, merhum İbrahim ve Semiha Şakir anısına yaptırılmıştır. Camiye adım attığınızda, sizi karşılayan modern ve zarif mimari detaylar, huzur verici bir atmosfer yaratır. Caminin dış cephesi, çağdaş mimarinin ve İslami tasarım öğelerinin bir araya getirildiği zarif detaylarla süslenmiştir. Ana kubbe, geleneksel cami mimarisini modern bir dokunuşla yeniden yorumlar ve etkileyici bir görsellik sunar. Minare ise zarif ve modern bir yapıya sahiptir, caminin genel estetiğine uyum sağlar. İç mekâna girdiğinizde, caminin aydınlık ve ferah atmosferi sizi etkiler. Yüksek tavanlar, geniş pencereler ve kubbenin içindeki modern süslemeler, iç mekâna aydınlık ve çağdaş bir hava katar. Mihrabın ve minberin detaylı işçiliği, modern tasarım anlayışıyla geleneksel İslam sanatının inceliklerini bir araya getirir. Caminin iç mekânında kullanılan hat sanatı ve süslemeler, manevi atmosferi güçlendirir ve ziyaretçilere görsel bir şölen sunar. Caminin iç mekanında, özellikle kadınların tasarımı ve katkıları öne çıkar. İç mekan tasarımında Zeynep Fadıllıoğlu'nun imzası bulunur ve bu durum, Şakirin Camii'ni kadın bir tasarımcının elinden çıkmış ilk cami yapar. Bu yönüyle cami, modern İslam dünyasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Caminin yanında yer alan avlu ve su öğeleri, sakin ve huzurlu bir ortam sunar. Avluda yer alan şadırvan, abdest almak isteyenler için hoş bir dinlenme alanı sunar ve modern mimarinin ince detaylarını gözler önüne serer.

Pretty amazing and relatively a new mosque to pray and pay attention about our lives as the mosque is at the corner of the graveyard. Despite this fact, people see life from a materialistic perspective which I have witnessed when a janazza was performed. The Üsküdar area is highly engraved with secularism and empty souls are floated around. I dislike this area and besides there is nothing to see there!

A beautiful, one of a kind mosque with a modern design. The architect was a woman, a first in Turkey. The chandelier in particular is amazing, like glowing raindrops. This is the mosque serving the adjacent cemetery, so there are frequently burial services in the courtyard. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Istanbul for more than a couple days and venture over to the Asian side of the city.
