On March 19, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the newly rebuilt Imam Bukhari Memorial Complex in the Payaryk district of the Samarkand region.
At the very center of the complex stands the mausoleum of the great scholar.
The Head of State visited the mausoleum, where verses from the Qur’an and dua were recited.
“On the eve of the holiday of Ramadan Hayit, we once again pay deep tribute to the blessed memory of our great compatriot, the sultan of the muhaddiths, Imam Bukhari. He is an outstanding figure who gained recognition throughout the Islamic world for compiling a collection of hadiths that remains the most authoritative source after the Holy Qur’an. We take pride in the fact that our sacred land gave the world such a renowned scholar.
“Thanks to the dedicated work of our people, our dreams and intentions have come true today. We have succeeded in building this unique pilgrimage complex at a level befitting the globally recognized status of Imam Bukhari. I congratulate all of us on this historic event,” said the President.
