Letter of Congratulation
Dear Muftiy!
On behalf of Muslim Board of Russian Federation, Council of Muftiys of Russian Federation and personally myself, I congratulate you on receiving Certificate of State Registry of Islamic Academy.
Praise be to Allah that as in times of our great ancestors like Imam Bukhariy, Imam Termiziy, Abdulhalik Gijduvaniy, Bahouddin Naqshbandiy, today as well due to the support by President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev and great work of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan under your management new traditions of Islamic Higher Education are reviving in Uzbekistan.
Мен Ислом академиясининг Ўзбекистон ва ислом манфаати йўлида муваффақиятли ва самарали фаолият олиб боришига тилакдошман. Ўз дини ва умматига фидокорона хизмат қилиб келаётган инсон сифатида Сиз азиз биродаримнинг барча эзгу ишларингизга Аллоҳнинг ўзи мададкор бўлишини чин дилдан тилаб қоламан!
I wish successful and fruitful efforts for the activity of the Academy for the sake of Uzbekistan and Islam. For you, dear brother, as the person who sincerely serves his religion and ummah, I genuinely wish you help from Allah in all your efforts!

The manuscript of the Uthmanic Mushaf preserved at the Library of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan is currently undergoing codicological examination.
This research involves a team of scholars including Shaykh Alijon Qori Fayzullah, Head of the “Qur’an and Tajwid Education” Department; Kamoliddin Mahkamov, Head of the Library Department; and Jahongir Qori Nematov, Head of the “Qur’anic Studies” Department at Tashkent Islamic Institute.
Shaykh Alijon Qori Fayzullah emphasized the importance of observing accuracy and trustworthiness when studying and reproducing the script of the Mushaf. He highlighted significant rules of orthography and recitation (qira’at) related to the original handwriting of the Uthmanic Mushaf currently kept at the “Muhi Muborak” Madrasa Museum.
The digital copy of the original Uthmanic Mushaf serves as the main object of the study. In preparing the critical text, researchers also refer to other ancient copies of the Mushaf preserved in Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Each line of the manuscript is being carefully rewritten, with verse and line numbers marked in red. Any textual discrepancies found in the 19th-century copied version are noted in the margins and explained through scholarly commentary.
With the support of the Fund for the Development of Culture and Art of Uzbekistan, both local and international experts — including Dr. Christine Rose from the University of Cambridge, French restorers Achel Delaeau and Coralie Barbe, and Nil Baydar, Head of the Istanbul Manuscripts Workshop and Archive Department — have developed a phased restoration plan to ensure the long-term preservation of the sacred manuscript.
