The construction took exactly one year. It is the most beautiful and largest mosque among the surrounding villages, and for this reason, it has become a symbol of Tepek\u00f6y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nihat Tekin made significant contributions to the construction of the mosque and passed away from a heart attack shortly before the construction was completed. Because of this, the villagers decided to name the new mosque Nihat Tekin (as seen in the picture).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funds needed for the construction were collected through donations from Tepek\u00f6y residents, both from within the country and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/tepekoy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nihattekincamii2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">N.T.
