  The dome is 167-feet, and the minarets are 252-feet high at the three-storey mosque. This is where religious television programmes are provided to the public and articles are published.

  Khazret Sultan Mosque has separate prayer rooms for men and women, a cafeteria, and classrooms for seminars.
