For every Muslim, a mosque is a place of tranquility of his soul and heart in a world of problems and worries. This is the house where the believer is visiting Allah, before whom he will stand during the Great Court. Once the messenger of Allah said: "When a person enters the mosque, he should not sit down without two salutations." Today, mosques can be found in almost all countries of the world. For example, the Shamil Mosque, which is located on the shores of Lake Kaban, is located in Kazan.
