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

It is true that Uzbekistan is the center for historical buildings. Some of them are more than three thousand years. For example, “Hasti Imam” complex in Tashkent with it’s the first Quran of Usman dating to the VII century attracts thousands of tourists. There are many historical spots in Bukhara as well, one of them is Bakhauddin Naqshband memorial complex. Bahauddin Naqshband rahmatullahi alayh lived in XIV century and founded Naqshbandiya path of Sufism. 

Notes for tourists……..

All efforts are being done to make better impression for tourists visiting Uzbekistan. For this reason a new initiatives are being put forward to develop tourism sphere. Starting from February 10th, 2018 the citizens form the following countries: Israel, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Turkey, Japan and Singapore can visit Uzbekistan for 30 days. For 39 countries visa procedures have been simplified. So, as a result 16 countries can visit Uzbekistan without entry visas.  

Up to this day only 9 countries have been using non-visa entry status. Those countries were Azerbaijan, Armaniston, Belorussia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia and Kyrgyzstan. 

Starting from 1st May, 2018 tourists are going to receive on arrival short term visas and later in summer E-visa is expected to be implemented. Then tourists would be able to do all procedures online including payment.

Besides, Uzbekistan Airlines, national air company is widening its routes in Scandinavia and South-East Asia with direct flight offers.

These all proves that Uzbekistan will become one of the most attracted touristic countries in the world.
