History
editTursunjan madrasah was built in 1805–1806 in Otaliq guzar,[2] during the reign of Mangit dynasty in Bukhara Emirate. Its construction was started by Domulla Tursunjon, a merchant from Bukhara, but due to his death, according to his will, the construction was finished by Amir Haydar (1800-1806). Abu Abdurahman Abdullah Domullo informed that Tursunjan was a merchant. Mullo Tursunjon madrasah is wrongly indicated in the history book of Bukhara by Zhora Barakayev and Yoldosh Haydarov that it was built in 1796–1797.[3] Mullo Tursunjan madrasah was founded in 1805–1806 in the work "History of Bukhara and translation by scholars". This madrasah is one of the largest and fourth-level madrasahs of the highest category in the city of Bukhara. According to the information of Abdurauf Fitrat of the Tursunjan madrasah, the annual endowment amount is 140,000 tenge. In the madrasa, classes were conducted by mudarris. Amir Haydar ruled the Bukhara Emirate in 1800–1826. During his time, reforms were implemented in the field of education in Bukhara Emirate. Two students lived in each room of the Tursunjan madrasah. The madrasah still exists today.[4]
