The Hazrat Sultan Mosque (Kazakh: Áziret Sultan meshiti/Әзірет Сұлтан мешіті; Russian: Хазрет Султан) is a Friday mosque in Astana, Kazakhstan.
After the suggestion from president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev mosque named "Hazret Sultan", which means "Holy Sultan". As well known, "Hazret Sultan" - one of the epithets of Sufi sheikh Khoja Ahmed Yasavi, author of "Divan-i Hikmet", whose mausoleum is located in Turkistan.
Probably the biggest masjid in Kazakhstan. Especially liked summer camp organized for kids. There were classes both for boys and girls. They learn basics of religion, Arabic and Qur'an. Quite a lot people came for taraweeh prayer in Ramadan.

Perfect place, the security guard have seen that we are tourists, he took us inside and was very polite. I recommend to visit it during the day, before they start to pray.

Very beautiful place. Super clean inside. You can read books about islam and get a knowledge. Stuff are kind, always help to visitors. Also they do have special classes of arabic language for free. For women there are special long all cover dresses in the case that you are not in it at that moment. I recommend to everyone to visit this place.

Mosques are not many in Astana... So every mosque is precious... Especially if it is the largest.... On Friday pray, it gets so full that many can pray only in the open no matter how low is temperature out there... The mosque is full of social activities during the whole week... The serve local foods also and you can buy zamzam water too... They have Hijama and hair cut as well... Kazakh and visiting moslems find there peace of mind, bond with each other and a place to perform their daily prayers... I found that too...
