Hazrat Ali Mosque
Khazret Imam Complex, Karasarai Street, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Description:
Khazar Ali Mosque is considered legendary in Uzbekistan. The temple appeared near a large chinara with a spring. Cinara, if you touch her hand, grants wishes. Mullah is not here, prayers can be heard from the pilgrims themselves. According to legend, the caliph Hazrati Ali, a descendant of the Prophet, asked Allah for a spring for ablution before the holy prayer. And such a source really appeared. There is another version – in this spring the caliph watered his horse. The mosque is a complex with aivans (terraces for prayers), a prayer room at the top and the building of the mosque itself. A well-kept road will enter the temple. In Soviet times, they tried to destroy the temple, but the believers managed to preserve it. For over a thousand years, the mosque has been the center of Islamic culture. Central Asian architecture, national ornaments will not leave visitors indifferent. Located in the village of Kumushkin in a mountain gorge near Tashkent. You can get there by taxi or rented car, as well as by excursion transfer.
