Mosques in Tashkent
4.1 Namozgoh Mosque
Built in about 1865, it was considered one of the largest mosques in Tashkent, where the main holiday prayers (Eid Ramazan and Eid al-Adha) were conducted. Since 1971, there functioned the Tashkent Islamic Institute.
4.2 Hazrat Imam Mosque
Construction of the mosque was done in the shortest time (four months) in 2007 on the initiative of the first President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov. The mosque itself is a unique symbol of Tashkent architectural style: at the entrance to the mosque there is a terrace with twenty-carved columns of sandalwood. The mosque also has two large blue domes, the interior of which is decorated with gold leaf as in madrassah Tillakari in Samarkand.Window openings of domes are designed so that the sun’s rays continuously penetrate inside the mosque from sunrise to sunset. At the entrance to the mosque there are erected two minarets of 53 meters in height.
