Şakirin Mosque

The Sakirin mosque is a beautiful religious site located on the Asian side of Istanbul. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and there was a steady flow of visitors coming and going. Very nice environment. Very friendly people.

Near the oldest & biggest Cemetery in Istanbul "Karacaahmet" Built by the Semiha Şakir Foundation i Opened on 7/05/2009 Architect was Hüsrev Tayla Area: 10,000 m2 Dome: 1 Minarets: 2 @35 m *The most carbon-neutral mosque in Turkey

A very nice and calming Masjid. Praying in it is very peaceful. The room is clean and fragrant . Alhamdulillah

Very beautiful and peacful place i prayed couple of times there. Love the architecture and blue colour.

This is a big modern mosque inside one of the biggest cemeteries in the world.

Beautiful, modern mosque. The cemetery which it overlooks is the largest in Turkey, one of the largest in the world and is very leafy and peaceful and well-maintained. If you have time, enter the cemetery at the bottom and walk up to the mosque. I also highly recommend walking the short distance from this mosque to the nearby Çinili Mosque, which is very old but also very beautiful.

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.

Modern, clean lines and totally fresh design & concept. This mosque is peacefully relaxing and soothing for the prayers. Space is well used and natural light plays a beautiful game within the interior. Sleek & stylish.
