The Izmail City Mosque is a Muslim religious building under construction in the city of Izmail, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine. It was initiated by the local Muslim community with the participation of the Clerical Board of Ukraine's Muslims. The project is positioned as the restoration of a permanent functional prayer center for the Muslims of Izmail after a long period during which the city had no regular mosque in religious use.[1][2]
History
Construction
The official groundbreaking took place on 11 November 2020, coinciding with the Islamic month of Mawlid. The ceremony was attended by the city's imam Mukhyiddin Kamilov and the Chief Mufti of Ukraine, Sheikh Ahmed Tamim. Volunteers and benefactors also took part in the work – their involvement was attributed to a desire to support the religious initiative and to motives connected with continuous charity practices (Sadaqah Jariyah).[1][2][3]
As of 2025, construction continues and is in its late stages, but the building has not yet been commissioned.
