Muyi Muborak Madrasah

Muyi Muborak Madrasah is located near the Gafur Gulyam metro station, almost in one of the oldest parts of Tashkent. The Hazrati Imam Complex, which includes a madrasah, is famous among tourists. Every resident of the capital knows the way to it.

The building is guarded, indoor photography is prohibited. Inside the madrasah, it is always humbly quiet, and a dim light shines. The most important relic of the Islamic world, the famous Quran of Osman, is kept here.

This book is considered the oldest in the world, and the main Quran from which all duplicates in the world were copied and reprinted. The Quran weighs 35 kilograms and contains 300 pages of text. It is stored in a special sarcophagus.

Despite the fact that the walls of the vault are transparent, it is bulletproof glass. A certain temperature and light level are maintained in the room, for the safety of the Quran .

According to legend, before his death, Caliph Osman, hiding wounded from his pursuers, read it, and there are traces of his dried blood on the pages of the Quran .
