Flanked by a pair of 50m-high minarets, the Hazrat Imam mosque fronts the square. The largest place of worship in Tashkent was built in 2007 in a record-breaking 4 months. It neatly displays the then-government’s view of what Islam should ideally be like: pretty to look at, but preferably without substance. Next-door is the administrative centre of the Mufti of Uzbekistan, the head of official Islam in the Republic. The complex has a rich library of oriental manuscripts. The world famous Quran of Caliph Uthman – Ottoman has been preserved here. Ottoman Koran is the primary source of Islam holy book that was written in the middle of VII century.

Construction was an expensive undertaking: sandalwood columns from India, green marble from Turkey and blue tiles from Iran point to the international underpinning given to this visible new bastion of Islam.

The new building of the mosque Hazrat Imam have been erected in 2007. The structure of the mosque consists of the mosque itself, and two minarets, which architecture is kept in the style of the XVI century. Thus, the entrance area of ​​the mosque is decorated with splendid work of woodcarvers, representing various woodcarving schools of Uzbekistan.

Great job also has been done by landscape designers. In particular, there had been imported many exotic trees, shrubs and flowers from different countries and planted on the territory of the complex. And during the spring, summer and autumn, beautiful storks freely walk there. At night, special lighting of the buildings causes a feeling of attendance in the world of the ancient oriental tales.
