منطقــة الأورال الفيدراليــّـة
امتاز الإسلام في منطقة الأورال الفيدرالية بتاريخ طويل وغني. فعندما قامت امارة سيبيريا في هذه الأراضي، كان صوت الأذان ينتقل مع انسياب الأنهار السيبيرية منذ القرن الثالث عشر. اما في الحقبة السوفيتية، وخاصة أثناء الحرب مع ألمانيا النازية، فقد تم إنشاء مراكز صناعية في هذه المنطقة، حيث عمل بها الكثير من المسلمين.
وفي وقتنا الحاضر، أُعيد إنشاء المساجد القديمة في هذه المنطقة وتم بناء مساجد جديدة، انعكست من خلالها الثقافة المادية لشعوب الأورال.

Islam has a fine and long history in the Ural Federal District. Once, the Khanate of Sibir was situated here, while the sounds of the adhan were heard along the Siberian rivers as early as in the 13th century. During the Soviet era, especially during the USSR's war against Nazi Germany, industrial centres were set up in the region, with a lot of Muslims working in there.
A lot of old mosques have been restored in the region recently, with new ones also being built, displaying the material culture of the peoples in the Urals.

Khoja Nigmatulla Mosque
The mosque was built in 1884-1888. The mosque was closed, while its building housed a dairy plant and a music school during the Soviet rule. It was not until 1989 that the mosque was returned back to the Muslims. Yembayavo settlement is famous for its two stone mosques, the first ones built in Tyumen region. Located on the opposite sides of the settlement, they create a kind of gorgeous frame with a rural landscape in it. The Yembay mosque became the blueprint for many other mosques built in the region.

Two minarets
Wooden and stone mosques in Tyumen tell us the history of the city. The mosque in Matmasy that joined Tyumen was too small to accommodate all believers. Therefore, there was built a bigger mosque that was called by the name of Abu Bakr, the companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Wood and stone
For the centuries the mosques were built mainly in wood. But those mosques had a short life due to the sever climate conditions. Now the mosques are built in stone, while still repeating the authenticity of the old ones
