Hello everyone.

Day 4.

Today our group went to Mir Arab Madrasah.

Architectural monument in Bukhara. Bukhara Khan was built by Sheikh Abdulla (1530-36) at the expense of funds donated by the classical poet Ubaydullah Khan. Mir Arab's real name is Sayyid Abdullah. At the age of 22, Amir came to Samarkand and became an apprentice to Khoja Ahror. In Sabron (Savron) of Turkestan, he dug 2 koriz (underground ditches), produced water, built a fortress, and improved many places in Shafirkon, Vobkent, Gijduvan districts (Mir Arab fortress is preserved in Shafirkon). He made a great contribution to the development of the Naqshbandi sect. He could not complete the construction of the madrasa, Mir Arab died at the beginning of 1536, and according to his will, his son-in-law Sheikh Zakariya completed the construction.

Calligrapher Mirali Fathobadi - Bukhari wrote this Persian text on the gate of the Madrasa: "Mir Arab fakhri Ajam onki kard - Madrasai olii bas bul ajab. Bul ajab on ast ki histori u: Madrasai olii Mir Arab." Madrasa Minorai is located opposite the kalon. Behind the main gate is a 5-domed miyan palace, with a large high-domed classroom, a mosque, and a cave. Tile patterns are combined with inscriptions (not preserved). The interior of the cave is covered with a shield-shaped dome, the ceiling and walls are decorated with ganch carvings, and the interior is covered with colorful tiles. In the cave, there is a wooden saghana of Ubaydullah Khan (1537 yve) and the tombs of Mir Arab and his relatives.



The total area of ​​the madrasah is 68.5x51.8 m, the yard is 35.4x31.3 m, the classroom is 8x8 m. The yard is rectangular and surrounded by 114 two-story rooms with a front porch. 4 classrooms with high gables between the sides add to the magnificence of the verandah. In terms of structure, it is an elegant jan. The original appearance of the peshto has been preserved, star decorations are found in the composition of these patterns. It can be seen from some preserved fragments of decorations that the patterns were very elegant and delicate.

Thanks.
