He’s one of the first Islamic preachers in the city, a scientist, poet and craftsman. Better known as Hazrati Imam, which means “Holy Imam”. They say he spoke 72 languages and translated the Old Testament (Torah) into Arabic.
He himself lived in the X century, and in the XVI his grave appeared a whole complex of buildings (2 mosques, 2 madrassas, a cathedral mosque and a mausoleum) named after him.
😱 Now it’s the main religious center of the city. The Muyi-Mubarak madrassah houses the Quran of Khalifa Osman (Usman), the most valuable book, it is the only one of the original manuscript of the Quran preserved.

many people – first it was stored in El-Kufa (Iraq), after which it moved with Tamerlan to Samarkand, then a Russian capture took place and went to a library in St. Petersburg, and after the revolution it arrived in Tashkent.
