At the very center of the complex is the mausoleum of our great ancestor.

The Head of State visited the mausoleum. Surahs from the Quran were recited, and prayers were offered.

– On the eve of the sacred holiday of Ramadan Hayit, we once again pay deep respect to the blessed memory of our great compatriot, the Sultan of Muhaddiths, Imam Bukhari. Bukhari is an outstanding figure who has earned recognition throughout the Islamic world for compiling a collection of hadiths that is widely regarded as the most authoritative source after the Holy Quran. We have every right to take pride in our sacred land, having given the world such a renowned scholar.

Thanks to the selfless efforts of our people, our aspirations and intentions have come true today. We have succeeded in building this unique pilgrimage complex to a level befitting the globally recognized high status of Imam Bukhari. I congratulate all of us on this historic event”, the Head of State said.
