Description:
XIV-XV centuries. Among the people there are such references to the mosque — in the Oguz-Kipchak period, the mosque was used as a caravanserai, later as a mosque-madrasah. The mosque is a multi-chamber structure of several large and small rooms, interconnected by arched passages. The walls of the mosque are built of semi-finished stones with the use of clay mortar, using the method of inclined “oblique” masonry (seismic-resistant). Judging by the destroyed sections, it can be assumed that initially there were domed ceilings in the multi-chamber structure.
A descendant of Imam Hussein, the holy Maktum-baba came to Mangyshlak from Persia, where the Kurekal Turkmens lived, after some time a significant number of murids joined him, and at that time not a single tree grew in the Khanga area. Once the murids came to Maktum-baba and asked him for permission to take a walk in the garden. To which he said to them: “Today do not go anywhere, if you do not find gardens nearby by tomorrow, then I will let you go there.” The Murids listened to him and stayed, and the next day, early in the morning, they saw that the entire nearby mountain was covered with excellent trees with many fruits. Fascinated by this spectacle and surprised by the miracle that had taken place, they came to Maktum Baba and fell at his feet, repenting of their sins. After that, the number of murids of Maktum-baba began to increase and reached several thousand. After the death of Maktum Baba, the gardens that were not looked after by anyone began to be destroyed, so far only a few mulberry trees have survived from them.
