A newly built memorial complex dedicated to Imam al-Bukhari has opened in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and is now receiving visitors and pilgrims. The site was inaugurated by the country’s president ahead of Eid al-Fitr, marking the completion of a large-scale reconstruction project.
Imam al-Bukhari is widely recognised in the Islamic world for compiling a collection of hadiths that is considered the most authoritative source after the Qur’an. His mausoleum now forms the centre of a complex designed to accommodate significantly higher visitor numbers and provide expanded facilities.
