The Brotherhood Mosque, which draws attention in Batman with its design different from conventional mosque architecture and its social amenities, opened with a ceremony. The building, which stands out with its dome-less, cube-form architecture, will serve as a center of culture and solidarity as well as worship, with its section displaying the Kaaba cover and the Sakal-ı Şerif, its library planned to serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, its soup kitchen and educational areas.
OPENED WITH A CEREMONY
The foundation of the Brotherhood Mosque was laid on May 6, 2023, and its opening was held on October 17, 2026, with the participation of Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi. Built next to Atatürk Park, the structure drew attention with its architecture and the various service areas it houses.
STANDS OUT WITH ITS CUBE-FORM ARCHITECTURE
Designed by architect Celaleddin Çelik, the Brotherhood Mosque stands out with its geometric cube-shaped architecture instead of the dome form commonly seen in traditional mosques. Inspired by Hasankeyf and Artuqid heritage in its design, the structure brings together the historical architectural understanding with a contemporary interpretation.
The large arched openings and masonry walls used in the interior create a visual connection between the worship area and the surrounding park. Also drawing attention with its semi-open spaces, the mosque was designed with an architectural approach that integrates with its surroundings.
THE KAABA COVER AND SAKAL-I ŞERİF WILL BE OPEN TO VISITORS
Among the striking sections of the Brotherhood Mosque is an area where relics from Islamic history are exhibited. According to information in the local press, the Kaaba cover and the Sakal-ı Şerif displayed in the mosque can be visited for half an hour after prayer times.
ITS LIBRARY WILL SERVE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK
The Brotherhood Mosque was designed as a complex not limited to a worship area. The library and study areas within the complex are planned to serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to these areas aimed especially at students and young people, there is also a children's library, children's workshops, an exhibition area and a conference hall.
Quran courses, educational areas for children aged 4-6, and study halls are among the other sections of the complex. Thus, the mosque is intended to host educational and cultural activities for different age groups.
THE SOUP KITCHEN WILL SERVE THOSE IN NEED
The soup kitchen in the complex is aimed to offer hot meals to those in need 365 days a year. Separate work areas for women and men, open ablution fountains and free toilets are also included in the project.
The mosque, which has a worship area for approximately 450-500 people, has a parking lot with a capacity of 80 vehicles. Standing out with its social amenities, the structure was planned as a center where educational, cultural and social solidarity activities will be carried out in addition to worship services.
AIMED TO BECOME A NEW MEETING POINT IN BATMAN
The Brotherhood Mosque, which draws attention with its architectural design, exhibited relics and social areas, is intended to bring together citizens of different age groups in Batman. With its services ranging from the library to the soup kitchen, from educational areas to the exhibition section, the complex brings worship and social life together under the same roof.
