 وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Dear all!

On January 18, 2018 Muslim Board of Uzbekistan is in deep sorrow due to the accident happened in Aktuber region, Kazakhstan. On behalf of Council of Ulama of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan I express deep condolences of a death to the families of diseased

According to official information, on “Samara-Shimkent” highway in Aktyuber region of Kazakhstan “Setra” bus burst into fire while moving on high speed. Overall 57 passengers who were heading to Kazan, Russia from Southern Kazakhstan were inside the bus. 52 of passengers died and 5 managed to escape.  

The special commission headed by Prime Minister left for Kazakhstan to find out the reasons of the incident. It was the extraordinary task of the President.

Meanwhile in all of the mosques of Uzbekistan special Quran tilawat was made for the victims of the bus fire during the Friday sermons. 

Dear citizens, our dearest prophet Muhammad sollalohu alayhi wasallam mentioned in one of the hadith that if a person dies while drowning, burning, being kept under destruction or bearing a child, he or she would be considered as shaheed (martyr).

Quran mentions that muslims should offer supplication for those who passed away. So we all ask that May Allah bestow mercy on all our brothers who died in bus fire. May Allah give strong patience to their relatives! 

Assalamu alaykum wa rohmatullohu wa barokatuhu!

 

Usmankhan Alimov,

Chairman of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Muftiy

“Associated Press of Pakistan”: Participants of the First International Forum of Islamic Civilization issue appeal to the President of Uzbekistan

Pakistan's leading news agency, Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), has published an article highlighting the outcomes of the First International Forum of Islamic Civilization, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

According to the publication, the inaugural International Forum of Islamic Civilization was held in Uzbekistan from July 7 to 11, bringing together distinguished scholars and experts from around the world. At the conclusion of the forum, its participants addressed a joint message to the President of Uzbekistan.

The message emphasizes that the forum, organized at the initiative and with the direct support of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, served not only as a prestigious academic platform but also as a landmark event marking a new stage of global cooperation aimed at preserving the shared spiritual and intellectual heritage of humanity.

The document also notes that holding the forum in Tashkent, Samarkand, and Termez — three of the most prominent centers of Islamic civilization — carried profound symbolic significance. These historic cities are the birthplace and workplace of many eminent scholars and thinkers whose contributions have had a lasting impact on the development of world science and civilization.

“The forum participants recognized President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's initiative to establish the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, first proposed during the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly, as one of the most significant international humanitarian initiatives of the past decade. They expressed confidence that the Center will evolve into a major international scientific and educational complex, bringing together leading scholars from across the globe”, the Associated Press of Pakistan concluded.
