Barak-Khan Madrassah

Old City, Mosques and Earthquake Memorial in Tashkent - Uzbekistan 4K Travel Channel

Before visiting the Hazrati Imam Mosque we want to take a look around the old town of Tashkent. Only some of the historical structure which so clearly represents the Orient remained after the earthquake of 1966. We enter the neighborhood via Tarix Street, which is traversed by a small canal. High clay walls form narrow street canyons in the side lanes and prevent a view into the courtyards.
Thanks to our guide Nargiz, we have the opportunity to take a look at some inner courtyards. They have a different designs but give insight into the individual needs of the residents.
In the first courtyard, we meet a lady who proves a happy hand with her plants. But the animals also seem to be close to her heart. Besides to a dog and chickens, we can even discover a goat in a shed. In the next courtyard is a bed, where they can sleep in the open air during the warm season.
Here turtles enrich life. Also in the next courtyard, we see a bed and a fruit-tree provides shade. Everyone creates himself a little paradise.
We continue our walk to the mausoleum, built by the 926 AD deceased Imam Abu Bakr Kaffal Shashi. It was erected in 1542 AD for him and some of his disciples. Believing Muslims still come here today to ask for help in emergencies.
Now we arrive at the Muslim center of Central Asia, the Khazrati Imam complex. On the one hand, it consists of the Barak-khan Madrasa, which was originally built as a mausoleum. Barak-khan (Nauruz-Akhmed), a great-grandson of Ulugh Beg, the Timurid prince of Sarmakand, who has made his name as an astronomer, converted the building into a madrasa. In the Soviet era, all the madrasas were closed. Today, only ten state madrasas are allowed again.
The Imam Al Bukhari Islamic institutes set up next-door is a kind of university for Islamic sciences. It should be noted that the radical Islam is heavily combated in Uzbekistan. The country pursues a secularized line. Due to the Soviet history, there are many residents without religion. The Barak-khan Madrasa is now a retail space for local craftsmen.
In the middle of the complex is the library building of the Muyi Muborak Madrasah. It contains the most valuable part of the complex, the oldest Koran, dating from the 7th century.

Vor dem Besuch der Hazrati Imam Moschee wollen wir uns noch ein wenig in der Altstadt von Taschkent umsehen. Nur wenig ist von der historischen Bausubstanz die den Orient so anschaulich wiedergibt nach dem Erdbeben von 1966 übrig geblieben.
Wir betreten das Viertel über die Tarix Straße, die von einem kleinen Kanal durchzogen wird. Hohe Lehmwände bilden schmale Häuserschluchten in den Nebengassen und verhindern einen Blick in die Innenhöfe.
Dank unserer Fremdenführerin Nargiz haben wir die Gelegenheit einen Blick in manche Innenhöfe zu werfen, die sehr unterschiedlich gestaltet sind, aber gut über die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Bewohner Auskunft geben.
Im Ersten treffen wir auf eine Dame, die eine glücklichen Hand bei ihren Pflanzen beweist. Doch auch die Tiere scheinen ihr am Herzen zu liegen. Neben einem Hund und Hühnern können wir in einem Verschlag sogar eine Ziege entdecken. Im nächsten Innenhof steht ein Bett, so dass man während der warmen Jahreszeit im Freien schlafen kann.
Hier bereichern Schildkröten das Leben. Auch im nächsten Innenhof steht ein Bett im Innenhof, dazu sorgt ein Obstbaum für Schatten. Jeder schafft sich hier ein kleines eigenes Paradies.
Bald erreichen wir das Mausoleum, dass vom 926 n. Chr. verstorbenen Imam Abu Bakr Kaffal Schaschi gebaut wurde. Es wurde 1542 n. Chr. für ihn und einige seiner Schüler errichtet. Gläubige Moslems kommen noch heute hierher um in Notsituationen Hilfe zu erbitten.
Nun kommen wir zum moslemischen Zentrum Zentralasiens, dem Khazrati Imam Komplex. Der besteht zum einen aus der Barak-khan Medrese , die ursprünglich auch als Mausoleum erbaut wurde. Barak-khan (Nauruz-Akhmed), ein Urenkel von Ulugh Beg, dem Timuriden Fürst aus Sarmakand, der sich als Astronom einen Namen gemacht hat, baute das Gebäude in eine Medrese um. In der Sowjet Zeit wurden sämtliche Medressen (Koranschulen) geschlossen. Heute sind nur zehn staatliche wieder erlaubt.
Das nebenan errichtete Imam Al Bukhari Islamic Institute ist eine Art Hochschule für Islamische Wissenschaften. Dazu ist zu bemerken, dass der radikale Islam in Usbekistan schwer bekämpft wird. Das Land verfolgt eine säkularisierte Linie. Aufgrund der sowjetischen Geschichte sind viele Bewohner ohne Religion. Die Barak-khan Medresse wurde als Verkaufsfläche für heimische Handwerker umgestaltet.
In der Mitte des Komplexes befindet sich das Bibliotheksgebäude der Muyi Muborak Medresse. In ihr befindet sich das wertvollste Stück der Anlage, die älteste Niederschrift des Korans aus dem 7. Jahrhundert.

Kukeldash madrassah

Kukeldash madrassah is a real pearl of medieval architecture of Tashkent and one of the brightest places of interest. Some hundreds years ago this madrassah looked over cob constructions symbolizing greatness and power of its author. This picturesque construction was built in 1568-1569 on a mount close to city walls. The manager of construction works of madrassah was Dervish-Khan, a vizir of Tashkent ruler Barak-Khan, who was nicknamed as Kukeldash meaning foster-brother of khan. In line of authority, derived from Genghis-Khan, one of the most important places of court was called with kukeldash word.

Khast Imam Square Here is the famous Barak-Khan Madrasah. founded in the 16th century by a descendant of Timur Lenk
The main portal of the complex is decorated with unique mosaics and paintings. Barak-Khan Madrasah includes, two embedded mausoleas. But the mausoleums were built before the construction of the madrasah. A mausoleum is located in the eastern part of the architectural complex; the second mausoleum with two domes was built on the site of the burial of one of Ulugbek's descendant Taškent governors.
In a museum built in 2007 on the site of the former Mui-Mubarak Madrasah, there is a renowned Muslim relic - the Quran of Caliph Osman or the Ottoman Qur'an written in the 7th century and considered the primary source of the Holy Book. According to a legend, Caliph Osman was killed while reading this book and the book had blood drops, the Book was considered holy and kept in the caliph's court. The Qur'an of Osman was in the treasures of the caliphs of Medina, Damascus, and Baghdad and arrived in Central Asia during the reign of the Timur dynasty. There is a theory according to which the Quran of Osman was brought by Amir Timur. It is known that in the fifteenth century it was in the court of Ulugbek of Samarkand. When the territory of Central Asia was conquered by the Russian Empire, the Qur'an of Osman was taken to St. Petersburg. In 1924, the relic was returned to Uzbekistan and long lived in Uzbekistan's People's History Museum, and then at the end of the 20th century On the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, the spiritual administration of Muslims in Uzbekistan was handed over.

Portalul principal al complexului este decorat cu mozaicuri și picturi unice. Barak-Khan Madrasah include, , două mausolee încorporate.

Coranul lui Osman se afla în comorile califilor din Medina, Damasc și Bagdad și a ajuns în Asia Centrală în timpul domniei dinastiei timurice. Există o teorie conform căreia Coranul lui Osman a fost adus de Amir Timur Se știe că în secolul al XV-lea era la curtea lui Ulugbek din Samarkand. Când teritoriul Asiei Centrale a fost cucerit de Imperiul Rus, Coranul lui Osman a fost dus la Sankt Petersburg În 1924, relicva a fost returnată în Uzbekistan și a locuit mult timp în Muzeul de Istorie al popoarelor din Uzbekistan, iar apoi la sfârșitul secolului al XX-lea, la inițiativa președintelui Uzbekistanului, Islam Karimov, a fost înmânat inadministrația spirituală a musulmanilor din Uzbekistan.

GNS in Uzbekistan. Day 2. Tashkent City Tour - Part 2.

On Day 2, our GNS guests had a great city tour around Tashkent. They were exposed to Hast Imam Square (Hazrati Imam), a religious center of Tashkent located in the old town. On the territory of the Hast-Imam, there are few arhitectural monuments, including the madrasah of Barak-Khan, Tilla Sheikh Mosque, mausoleum of the Saint Abu Bakr Kaffal Shashi and the Islamic Institute of Imam al-Bukhari. The visit to Hast Imam square was followed by a visit of the famous Chorsu Bazaar, the center of public life. On counters of this oriental Bazaar our guests found fresh fruits, amber-colored dried fruits, toasted bread and many other attractive things that one can’t stand to pass by them. The city tour around Tashkent was concluded with a gala-dinner at Raddison Blu hotel with a special cultural program.
