An assembly bringing together senior religious figures, members of the Council of Elders of the Halk Maslahaty, and the Council of Elders of the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Philanthropic Fund was convened at the Turkmenbashi Spirituality Mosque in Kipchak. According to the "Watan" news broadcast, the working session focused on institutional adjustments and cultural architecture projects within the state.
During the structural debates, the elders highlighted ancestral Turkmen concepts which state that developing public infrastructure and building religious structures are highly meritorious actions. Consequently, during the session held in conjunction with Friday prayers, a formal proposal was introduced to name the new 30,000-capacity main mosque currently under construction in the smart city "Arkadag Spirituality Mosque" (Arkadagyň ruhy metjidi).
The naming initiative represents the consolidation of numerous public requests submitted by citizens, recognizing the National Leader's central role in designing and executing the modern urban center. The participating elders and theologians unanimously supported the resolution, concluding that designating the monumental facility as the "Arkadag Spirituality Mosque" appropriately honors the cultural values of the nation.
