Historical Outline of the Takva Mosque, Sibay, Republic of Bashkortostan

Abstract

The city of Sibay of the Republic of Bashkortostan is young, which began construction in the days of strengthened socialism; and there are no events that affected most of the mosques in the villages of Baimaksky district, such as secularization, the liquidation of the Muslim community, mosques and the confiscation of its religious property. The history of the first mosque is connected with the history of the city, since it was originally formed in the Soviet years as a result of the industrialization of the Soviet Union, and there was no need to talk about mosques in those years. But times of change came and almost all the villages of the Bashkir Trans-Urals acquired their own mosques. The Bashkirs and Tatars who settled in this area and became the reason for the appearance of our city were ethnic Muslims. In the city of Sibay, a mosque and an Orthodox church were being built at the same time. One of the features of the end of the last century is that the population recognized a certain positive significance of religion, especially in the field of the moral education of the young.
