A chain of hotels considering religious rituals, the ziyarat-hotels must be established in Uzbekistan noted Aziz Abduhakimov, the Chairman of the Committee for Tourism Development in his interview for VisitUzbekistan journal.

“In the nearest future ziyarat tourism would be become the main direction in the development of internal and external tourism in our country. However there are still several things we must do for the conveniences of visitors in our airports, railway and bus stations which are washing and pray rooms. We are planning to establish a chain of hotels that foresees religious rituals of visitors. Besides, “Halal”  and “Kosher” standards are expected to be introduced”.

Citizens’ Appeals Are Being Resolved Positively

The ongoing dialogue between the leadership of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan and the public continues to play a vital role in addressing various social and religious issues. Each appeal submitted by citizens during the public receptions is given due attention and is being resolved appropriately.

On October 29, the First Deputy Chairman of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Homidjon Ishmatbekov, received citizens and listened to their appeals, complaints, and suggestions.
During the meeting, issues related to mosque conditions, the work of imams, Hajj and Umrah matters, family concerns, and requests for financial assistance were discussed in detail.

Participants seeking advice on family matters were provided with guidance and Sharia-based recommendations, while those in need of material support received assistance in accordance with the established procedures.

Citizens expressed gratitude and heartfelt prayers, noting the sincere attention and care shown during the meeting.

Indeed, easing the burdens of others and contributing to the resolution of their troubles is among the most virtuous deeds. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Whoever fulfills the need of his brother, Allah will fulfill his need. Whoever relieves a Muslim from a hardship, Allah will relieve him from one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection.”
— Narrated by Imam al-Bukhari

Such public receptions are also being held every Wednesday across the country by the regional branches of the Muslim Board and in all mosques under the supervision of local imams.
