El conjunto Khazret-Imam de Tashkent es uno de los ejemplos más convincentes del cuidado minucioso con los monumentos arquitectónicos y del interés por la historia de Uzbekistán.
La edificación empezó en el siglo XVI. Como resultado de frecuentes terremotos, guerras, y simplemente bajo el influjo del tiempo muchos edificios del conjunto han perdido parte de su decoración. En 2007 después de la restauración de algunos edificios antiguos, construcción de los nuevos y adecuación del entorno, los habitantes y huéspedes de Tashkent lo pudieron ver en todo su encanto y grandeza.
The Khazret-Imam complex in Tashkent is one of the most compelling examples of meticulous care taken with architectural monuments and a deep interest in Uzbekistan's history.
Construction began in the 16th century. As a result of frequent earthquakes, wars, and simply the ravages of time, many buildings in the complex lost some of their decoration. In 2007, after the restoration of some older buildings, the construction of new ones, and the landscaping of the surrounding area, the residents and visitors of Tashkent were able to appreciate it in all its charm and grandeur.

The Hazrat Imam mosque is the largest place of worship in Tashkent. It was built in 2007 in a record-breaking 4 months. Flanked by a pair of 50m-high minarets, it stands in the front the Hazrati Imam square. Construction was an expensive undertaking for which sandalwood columns from India, green marble from Turkey and blue tiles from Iran were brought.
The primary mosque can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers.
Taken in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Ali ibn Abi Talib
(Arabic: علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب; Transliteration: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib,
13th Rajab, 24 BH–21st Ramaḍān, 40 AH; approximately October 23, 598 or 600 or March 17, 599 – January 27, 661) was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and ruled over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661, and was the first male convert to Islam.
Sunni Muslims consider Ali the fourth and final of the Rashidun (rightly guided Caliphs), while Shi'a Muslims regard Ali as the first Imam and consider him and his descendants the rightful successors to Muhammad, all of which are members of the Ahl al-Bayt, the household of Muhammad. This disagreement split the Ummah (Muslim community) into the Sunni and Shi'a branches.
Muslim sources, especially Shi'a ones, state that during Muhammad's time, Ali was the only person born in the Kaaba sanctuary in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. His father was Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib and his mother was Fatima bint Asad, but he was raised in the household of Muhammad, who himself was raised by Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle. When Muhammad reported receiving a divine revelation, Ali was the first male to accept his message, dedicating his life to the cause of Islam.
Ali migrated to Medina shortly after Muhammad did. Once there Muhammad told Ali that God had ordered Muhammad to give his daughter, Fatimah, to Ali in marriage. For the ten years that Muhammad led the community in Medina, Ali was extremely active in his service, leading parties of warriors on battles, and carrying messages and orders. Ali took part in the early caravan raids from Mecca and later in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community.
Ali was appointed Caliph by the Companions of Muhammad (the Sahaba) in Medina after the assassination of the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan. He encountered defiance and civil war during his reign. In 661, Ali was attacked one morning while worshipping in the mosque of Kufa, and died a few days later.
In Muslim culture, Ali is respected for his courage, knowledge, belief, honesty, unbending devotion to Islam, deep loyalty to Muhammad, equal treatment of all Muslims and generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies, and therefore is central to mystical traditions in Islam such as Sufism. Ali retains his stature as an authority on Qur'anic exegesis, Islamic jurisprudence and religious thought. Ali holds a high position in almost all Sufi orders which trace their lineage through him to Muhammad. Ali's influence has been important throughout Islamic history.

Sayings of Imam Ali (A.S.)
One of the Iwan of the Imam Mosque in Isfahan. The Mosque is considered one of the masterpiece of Persian architecture and was built at the beginning of the 17th Century. Its construction was part of the Naqsh-e Jahan Square.
I return here to my series of photographs of the magnificent Nizimiya Turkish Turkish Mosque in Midrand. The Mosque is famous not just as an extraordinarily beautiful architectural marvel, but as both a warm and friendly, welcoming, space and for its broad community service. Behind such a project are people. Here is a portrait of the genial Imam and one of the mosque's welcoming personnel. They were delighted to be photographed, and this is one of several lovely portraits I got. Thank you to them both!
Fatima Masumeh Shrine, Qom, Iran.
Like the Masjid Imam Ridha in Mashhad, the Shrine of Fatimah Al-Masumeh in Qom is revered as one of the two most important Shi’ite cities inside Iran, and the two are closely related in more ways then one. The shrine is home to the Tomb of Fatimah, the daughter of Musa the 7th Imam and the sister of Ali the 8th Imam who is buried in Mashhad. She was therefore also a direct descendent of the Prophet Muhammad, and is honored among Shi’ites. More generally, the Tomb of Fatimah is possibly the most venerated holy place in Islam dedicated to a woman, with the exception only of the Tomb of Hagar in Mecca. Although not considered quite as sacred as Mashhad, Qom is nevertheless Iran’s most important religious center, and is home some of its most important schools as well as many of the highest-ranking Shi’ite officials.
Once we were in the compound, no camera was allowed except camera from the cell phone.
