About this audio guide
This guide to Ar-Rahma, the mosque on Lukianivska Street in Kyiv, follows the city's Muslims across more than a century, from a prayer room in Podil in eighteen ninety-seven to a hilltop in the old Tatarka quarter. It touches the donors, the Azerbaijani stone and the Turkish carpets, and a sacred relic that pilgrims travel to seek blessing from. Best heard standing in the courtyard with the dome and minaret in view.
