Nur-Astana Mosque, located in Astana (now known as Nur-Sultan), Kazakhstan, is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia. The mosque, completed in 2008, features a striking architectural design that blends traditional Islamic elements with modern aesthetics. Its main dome is complemented by four towering minarets, each standing at 63 meters tall, symbolizing the age of the Prophet Muhammad at his passing. The mosque's prayer hall can accommodate up to 5,000 worshippers, making it a central place of worship and community gathering in the Kazakh capital.
