About
Архитектурное сооружение мечети имени Машхура Жусупа поражает воображение красотой и величием. Главную мечеть города видно с разных концов города. Небесного цвета купол в виде шанырака венчает золотой полумесяц, устремленные ввысь голубые минареты и величественная лестница - отличают новую мечеть. Здание мечети представляет восьмиконечную звезду размером 48Х48 метра, высота минаретов - 63 метра, высота купола с полумесяцом - 54 метра. Украшение мечети - хрустальная люстра «Зумрад» с 434 лампочками, изготовленная в Ташкенте. Мечеть расположена в центре Павлодара и архитектурно, если смотреть от основания лестницы, похожа на распахнутое сердце, открытое для мира и добр

This mosquee is quite modern and is very big. We visited it during the end of the ramadan and we were fantasticly welcoming by the people and get some foods during their party. As western people, and non-muslim it was a fantastic experience to share food and words with the people

The mosque named after Mashkhur Zhusup (1857–1931) was completed in 2001. It is inside a 6-hectare park with gates on Kutuzov, Krivenko and Kayrbaev streets and is one of the largest mosques in Kazakhstan. It was named after Mashkhur Zhusup, who is now considered to be one of the most important figures of Kazakh Islam in the second half of the 19th-first half of the 20th centuries. He was the author of several printed works, but he also left a number of manuscripts. One of his main areas of activity was the collection and recording of Kazakh oral traditions. He transcribed numerous oral epics, and he possibly was the first person to write down Kazakh historical and genealogical traditions in his region. He was also the author of numerous original works: epic poems devoted the Islamic prophets and figures from early Islamic history; verse works devoted to the Islamic sciences; autobiographical works; praise poems for local figures; and travel or pilgrimage poems. After his death he was venerated as a saint and over the years thousands of pilgrims have visited his tomb. In popular belief still current today, it is thought that skin contact with his tomb is sufficient to ensure salvation or recovery from illness.
The building is an eight-pointed star measuring 48 by 48 meters, with room for up to 1500 worshippers. The minaret is 63 meters tall, while the half-moon cupola is 54 meters in height. The mosque’s sky-blue cupola was built to resemble a yurt in shape. The cupola over the men’s prayer room, which holds 1200 people, measures 33 meters in height and 30 meters in diameter. The mosque covers a total surface of 7240 m². The main building’s two floors and minarets are made of brick, while the cupola has a metal substructure. The Sumbar rock-crystal chandelier whose 434 light bulbs illuminate the interior of the mosque was manufactured in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. From an architectural point of view, the mosque is meant to resemble a heart, open to peace, kindness and good will.
The first floor holds the madrassa classrooms, a prayer room for women with space for up to 300 worshippers, auxiliary spaces adjacent to the prayer room, a room with ablution facilities for ritual purification, and a checkroom. The room used to celebrate weddings is separated from the refectory by moveable partitions so the two can be joined together to form a single large space. The second floor has a balconied prayer room with space for 1200 people, a museum of Islamic culture, a library, a video room, washrooms and some big halls. The main entryway to the mosque is located on the building’s second floor.

This is a good spot to take photos as this is the most unusual and scenic spot in town. Pavlodar is very plain and doesn't have a lot for tourists so most people will be going here for friends, family, business or in most cases passing through. This is definitely worth the walk for the photos to see the unusual architecture.

Worth a visit if you are in the area. The people were friendly and welcoming and let you take pictures. I found it funny that when they knew I was a foreigner they told me more about the building than anything else. Nice spot for a walk
