(Translated by Google) The Mosque of Muhammad (Azerb. Məhəmməd məscidi), also known as Synyk-kala (Azerb. Sınıqqala məscidi - "damaged tower") is an 11th century mosque located in the historical part of Baku, Icheri Sheher. The mosque received the name "Synyk-kala" after the events of 1723, when a military squadron of Russian troops, consisting of 15 ships and led by General Matyushkin, approached the city from the sea side and demanded its surrender. In response to the rejected ultimatum, Russian ships began bombing the city. One of the shells hit the minaret of the mosque and damaged it. At the same moment, a strong gale wind arose and carried the Russian sailing ships far out to sea. The population of the city perceived this as God's protection against foreign invaders. From then until the middle of the 19th century, the minaret of the mosque was not restored as a symbol of resistance. This is the first building connected with Islam on the territory of Azerbaijan, dated by a building inscription. In the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron, the mosque is called "the Shah's mosque." (Original) Мечеть Мухаммеда (азерб. Məhəmməd məscidi), известная также как Сынык-кала(азерб. Sınıqqala məscidi — «поврежденная башня») — мечеть XI века, расположенная в исторической части города Баку, Ичери-шехере. Название «Сынык-кала» мечеть получила после событий 1723 года, когда военная эскадра российских войск, состоящая из 15 кораблей и возглавляемая генералом Матюшкиным, подошла со стороны моря к городу и потребовала его сдачи. В ответ на отвергнутый ультиматум русские корабли стали бомбить город. Один из снарядов угодил в минарет мечети и повредил его. В тот же миг поднялся сильный штормовой ветер и унёс парусные суда русских далеко в море. Население города восприняло это, как божью защиту от иноземных захватчиков. С тех пор и до середины XIX века минарет мечети не восстанавливался, как символ сопротивления. Это первое на территории Азербайджанасвязанное с исламом сооружение, датируемое строительной надписью. В Энциклопедическом словаре Брокгауза и Ефрона мечеть названа «шахской мечетью».

(Translated by Google) Mosque of Mohammed - Christian date of construction - 1078 year. According to the inscription, the scientists deciphered that Muhammad was the head of the city government - Rais. Also during the excavations it was discovered that the mosque stands on the site of an older religious building and repeats its construction. (Original) Мечеть Мухаммеда - христианская дата постройки - 1078 год. По надписи ученые расшифровали, что Мухаммед был главой городского управления - раисом. Также при раскопках было обнаружено, что мечеть стоит на месте более древнего религиозного сооружения и повторяет его конструкцию.

(Translated by Google) Muhammad Mosque The oldest mosque in the old city, built in 1078 AD, is characterized by its traditional nature, in which it touches the same Safavid architecture Worth a visit (Original) مسجد محمد اقدم مسجد في المدينة القديمة بني سنة 1078 ميلادية يتميز بطابعه التقليدي حيث تلمس فيه نفس العمارة الصفوية يستحق الزيارة

(Translated by Google) (In the houses of God’s permission to raise and mention his name in which he praises for him in the morning and in the originals (36) Whoever wishes without an account (38) (Original) ( في بيوت أذن الله أن ترفع ويذكر فيها اسمه يسبح له فيها بالغدو والآصال ( 36 ) رجال لا تلهيهم تجارة ولا بيع عن ذكر الله وإقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة يخافون يوما تتقلب فيه القلوب والأبصار ( 37 ) ليجزيهم الله أحسن ما عملوا ويزيدهم من فضله والله يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب ( 38 )

The mosque is transformed to a Holy Text (Quran) Museum. The museum is quite beautiful mosque, with a good inventory of items that are displayed there. It seems the mosque-museum attract less than what is expected visitors and tourists, but it worth than you might consider. I really enjoyed visiting this museum. Recommended!

From 11th century, can't go inside

(Translated by Google) The Mohammed Ibn Abubakr mosque, popularly known as "Synyg gala", is located in Icheri Sheher near the Maiden Tower. It was built in 471 AH (1078-79) by decree of Mohammed Ibn Abubakr, who, judging by the inscriptions on the minaret, was either the chief architect or one of the city's senior officials. "Synyg Gala" is the oldest surviving minaret in the territory of northern Azerbaijan. According to oral tradition, the "Mosque of Mohammed" was erected on the site of an ancient temple of fire. The name "Synyg Gala" (translated from Azeri. - "Tower destroyed") appeared after the events of 26 July 1723 and has its own background. (Original) La moschea di Mohammed Ibn Abubakr, popolarmente conosciuta come "Synyg gala", si trova a Icheri Sheher vicino alla Torre della Fanciulla. Fu costruito nel 471 AH (1078-79) con decreto di Mohammed Ibn Abubakr, che, a giudicare dalle iscrizioni sul minareto, era o l'architetto capo o uno degli alti funzionari della città. "Synyg Gala" è il più antico minareto sopravvissuto nel territorio dell'Azerbaigian settentrionale. Secondo la tradizione orale, la "Moschea di Maometto" fu eretta sul sito di un antico tempio del fuoco. Il nome "Synyg Gala" (tradotto dall'Azeri. - "Torre distrutta") apparve dopo gli eventi del 26 luglio 1723 e ha un suo background.

Beautiful mosque.

A beautiful and historical mosque in Icherisheher.

The Muhammad Mosque Minaret in Baku is an awe-inspiring testament to the passage of time. Standing tall for almost 1000 years, it’s a remarkable sight to behold. What impressed me the most was its immaculate appearance, almost as if it were brand new. The preservation and care given to this historic structure left me truly amazed. It’s a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels that Baku has to offer. A must-see for anyone visiting the city, as it encapsulates the beauty of timelessness and cultural heritage.

Better visit nearby

Hard to believe it is still standing since the 11th century. Worth passing by to experience the history of the Old City

(Translated by Google) The mosque was named after the Syngyqala Mosque in 1723, after the Russians shot Baku. The minaret of the oldest mosque in the city was also damaged when the artillery of Peter I, which had invaded the coast along the Caspian Sea, opened fire on June 26 of that year. The tower, which continues as a tower with a ball shell, is called the "broken castle". The original name of the monument is not known. The book written in the Kufi line on the north side of the mosque says: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He ordered the building (construction) of this mosque Ustad-ar-Ruler Muhammad bin Abu Bakr four hundred and seventy-one. Many experts consider Muhammad Abu Bakr's son an architect of the mosque. Well-known scholar Jafar Qiya notes from the text that it is understood that Mohammed Abu Bakr's son was the customer of the mosque and that he was also the city's mayor. Sinigqala is the oldest surviving mosque in Baku and its minaret is the oldest of the Guzei minarets. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, Synygqala was a one-storey mosque and its capacity was small compared to the tower. After the two buildings were freed from the buildings attached to it, the bottom of the monument appeared. The initial alignment of the mosque with the minaret was restored (Original) Məscidə Sınıqqala məscidi adı 1723–cü ildə rusların Bakını top atəşinə tutmasından sonra verilib. Xəzər sahili boyunca işğalçı yürüşlərə çıxmış I Pyotrun artilleriyası həmin ilin 26 iyununda Bakını atəşə tutanda şəhərin ən qocaman məscidinin minarəsi də zədələnmişdir. Top mərmisinə qala bürcü kimi davam gətirən minarəyə xalq "Sınıq qala" adını vermişdir. Abidənin ilkin adı bəlli deyil. Məscidin şimal tərəfindəki kufi xətti ilə yazılmış kitabədə deyilir: Rəhimli və Rəhman olan Allahın adı ilə. Bu məscidin binasını (tikməyi) əmr etdi Ustad ər-rəis Məhəmməd ibn Əbu Bəkr Dörd yüz yetmiş birinci il Mütəxəssislərin bir çoxu Məhəmməd Əbu Bəkr oğlunu məscidin memarı sayır. Tanınmış alim Cəfər Qiyasi isə katibin mətnindən Məhəmməd Əbu Bəkr oğlunun məscidin sifarişçisi olduğu, özü də həmin şəxsin şəhər rəisi olduğu anlaşılır deyə qeyd edir. Sınıqqala Bakının salamat qalan ən əski məscidi, minarəsi isə Quzey Azərbaycan minarələrinin ən qocamanıdır. XX əsrin əvvəllərinə kimi Sınıqqala bir mərtəbəli məscid olmuşdur və onun tutumu uca minarəsinə nisbətdə kiçik görünmüşdür. İki yandan ona yapışdırılmış binalardan azad olduqdan sonra, abidənin alt daqı üzə çıxdı. Minarə ilə məscid binasının ilkin uyarlığı bərpa edildi

This is a 1000 years old mosque exquisitely maintained. Currently it is converted into Quran museum. Mostly the tourist miss out on seeing this beautiful place but it's a must to see when site seeing the old Baku city. It's not an active mosque and hence Namaz can't be offered here. The ambiance and the the aura of this place is at its peak during morning time. It's certainly depicts the epitome of Islamic times.
