The mosque - also known as Moscow Cathedral Mosque and the Moscow Jum’ah Mosque - was demolished four years ago and has been rebuilt to house 10,000 worshippers.
The reopening on Sept. 23,2015 will see a new complex 20 times larger than its predecessor at 19,000 square meters.
The new building stands on the site of Moscow's original mosque, which dated back to 1904. Construction was entirely funded by donors
It is one of three large mosques in Russia, along with those in the republics of Chechnya and Dagestan
