Construction began in 2007 as a commemoration of the 450th anniversary of Bashkiria joining Russia. Once completed, the mosque was expected to be the largest in Russia and in all of Europe, but this has not come to pass. Because of financing difficulties, its opening date has been repeatedly postponed since 2015.
