The first permanent mosque in the city of Ufa was erected in 1830 on Frolovskaya Street (later renamed Tukayev Street).[1][not in citation given] Its construction was initiated by Gabdesallam Gabdrakhimov (1765-1840), the second mufti of the Orenburg Muslim Spiritual Assembly. A madrasah was opened in 1887. It was the only active mosque in the city between 1960 and 1994.[1] The local imam Cihangir Abızgildin was arrested and executed by the NKVD in 1937.
