Memorial Complex of Imam Al Bukhari

The museum is located in a modern building designed by the chief architect of the city of Bukhara, Zoirsho Kilychev.

The museum, founded in 2001, is dedicated to the life of Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail al Bukhari, an outstanding researcher of hadith and a luminary of Islamic theology.

Al-Bukhari's fundamental work is Al–Jome as-Sahih, which is considered sacred in Islam after the Koran. To write this book, the scientist studied more than 600,000 hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). In the Muslim world, al-Bukhari has the title of "Amir ul-muminin filhadis," which means "hadith scholar" in Arabic.
