7th day - Modarikhan Madrasah

 Modarikhan Madrasah

Hello my dear and near ones! How are you doing !? I keep on travelling to several ancient sites of Bukhara and todayʼs destination was Modarikhan Madrasah, which is considered one of the most sacred places in Bukharaʼs religios history. So , now I am going to share my impression and experiences with you ! 💗

 


Modarikhan Madrasah is an architectural monument (1566-1567) located opposite the Abdullah Khan Madrasah in Bukhara . Both make up the Koshmadrasa complex . Abdullah Khan madrasa is located opposite . Currently, it is included in the national list of real estate objects of material and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan .



Modarikhan madrasa is one of the madrasas built in honor of Abdullah Khan II 's mother. Modarikhan madrasah was built in 1566-1567. Hafiz Tanish Bukhari , one of the palace historians who lived in this period, recorded in his work Abdullanoma that the people of Bukhara actively participated in the construction of the madrasa. The main gable of the madrasah is facing west and is decorated with flowers. The main motifs of the Modarikhan madrasa have been preserved on the pediment. 



The patterns of the madrasa are mainly preserved in white, blue, blue, dark brown, and dark colors. The word "Allah" is written in Handasavi Kufic form on the upper pediment of Modarikhan madrasa. Above the gate of the madrasa there is an inscription on the tile in white letters. In this inscription, there were names of the orderer of the construction of the madrasa, Abdullah Khan II, the person who compiled the text of the book, the chief judge of Bukhara, Nuriddin Qazi Muhammad, and the date of completion. In 1998-1999, the Modari Khan madrasa was renovated and replaced with a new book. Verses 1-5 of Surah "Alaq" from the Holy Qur'an are written on a blue background in suls script  on the front of the madrasa . Above it, the word "Mulk-Allah's" is repeated in Kufic letters in yellow letters  . On the right and left sides of the entrance gate of Modarikhan madrasa, the name "Muhammad" is pinned in the Kufic form. As a result of the earthquakes, the books of the Modarikhan Madrasah were damaged. The inscription above the madrasa gate is the only surviving epigraphic inscription. Makur Kitaba inscription is written in tile style with white letters on a dark blue background. But this book has also been partially restored based on archival photographs of 1998.



Bye for now!
