History

Local residents began building the mosque in 1994 through hashar, the Uzbek tradition of communal voluntary work, and with the help of sponsors completed it in 2000. Extra rooms for the staff followed in 2001, and in 2006 a brick gatehouse in the national style.

The mosque has been active since 2002 and was officially registered on 12 April that year as the Kichik Kildon Friday Mosque, named after its mahalla. Its congregation is drawn from one mahalla and five villages.
