Chashmah-Ayyub

 Today we visited Chashmah-Ayyub.  In the days before Bukhara even existed, a millennium before Islam was even a glimmer in the Prophet's eye, the prophet Job came to the Zerafshan Valley and witnessed a great and terrible drought. As people perished of thirst around him, Job struck the dusty earth with his staff and a cool source of sweet spring water brought liquid salvation. Sudden appearance of a well had astonished the people by its vivifying spring and its crystal clear water. The Chashma Ayub, the Spring of Job, commemorates this site. It is commonly believed that the water still keeps its clearness and herbal power. Chashmai Ayub relates to the honored "track places" ("kadamjoy"), left as a heritage by sacramental people. According to the historical beliefs, cultic construction had already existed at this location before the 14th century. First erected in the 12th century, the plain and slightly austere mausoleum you see today was raised by Timur in 1380

His father had migrated to Central Asia from Malatya, in eastern Anatolia where he had been a prominent faqih. While Abdul Khaliq was studying tafsir in Bukhara he first had an awakening of interest in the path. He received further training at the hands of Yusuf Hamdani, and was the next link in the Naqshbandi silsila following him. The way Abdul Khaliq taught became known as the way of the Khojas - teachers. Abdul Khaliq bequeathed to subsequent generations of the Naqshbandi silsila a series of principles governing their Sufi practice, concisely formulated in Persian and known collectively as "the Sacred Words" (kalimat-i qudsiya), or the "Rules" or "Secre

 Today is the day of our practice.    we all got together at 9:30. First, the teacher checked us, she wanted to be sure that everyone had come to the lesson. After that, she gave us information about the Abdulahan ll and about Modari-Khan Madrasah, we asked her questions and each of us told new information about this place. The weather was very good, we were able to walk freely and study history, in addition we took cool photos.         About Modari-Khan Madrasah  Madari Khan was first built in 1566 - 1567. Modari Khan is translated as "Khan's mother", since this madrasah was built by the Uzbek Khan Abdullah Khan II in honor of his mother. The main facade of the Modari Khan of the rich is decorated with tiles of multi-colored brick mosaic that form geometric patterns. On majolica tiles there are images of butane flowers. But it should be noted that with all this, the facade decoration looks modest. This day was full with good emotions and experiences.

 The most famous historical place where we spent time during practice. Such an impressive and comfortable place for the soul. A place that made me forget about everyday problems and attracted me with its amazing paintings and suras from the Koran. It is Ulugbek Madrasah. It was built in 1417.  It is the first madrasah in Bukhara which was built by Ulugbek.  It is comparatively small, but has great forms. This is a building with two-ayvan square yard, surrounded by two- storey hudjrs, with darkshana cupola halls and mosque on the cross of entrance hall.  Legend about Ulugbek Madrasah  According to legend, when the construction of the madrasah was almost completed, Ulugbek was asked who would be the first mudarris (teacher) of the madrasah. Ulugbek replied: "The most knowledgeable person in all sciences. Then a prudent person, havafi, rose from the crowd and began to apply for this position.

"Zargar" is translated as  "jeweller", so that the Toqi Zargaron dome was  also called "Jeweller's Trading Dome". The Trading Dome Toqi Zargaron (in some  sources Taqi Zargaron) is the most extensive  bazaar among the bazaars of Bukhara. It is  located north of the other three famous dome  bazaars in the city, near the Poi Kalon complex.  This majestic architectural masterpiece was  built between 1569 and 1570 under the rule of  Abdullah Khan II of the Shaibanid dynasty.
