During the holy month, more than 2,100 mosques across the Central Asian country will hold Taraweeh prayers, with over 1,700 completing the recitation of the entire Quran within 27 days, the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan said.
Approximately 3,500 reciters with melodious voices will lead the Taraweeh prayers and the Khatm Quran in mosques.
On February 27, a presidential decree titled “On the Worthy Conduct of the Blessed Month of Ramadan” announced that the month of Ramadan this year will commence on March 1.
Additionally, the Fatwa Center of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan has determined the nisab of zakat, sadaqa al-fitr, and fidya amounts for Ramadan 2025 AD / 1446 Hijri.
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.”

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.
