From December 30, 2025, to January 11, 2026, the Tashkent Islamic Institute is hosting a professional development seminar for faculty members titled: "Regulatory and Legal Documents in the Educational Process, Modern Pedagogical Technologies and Methods, and Specialized Subjects."
The primary objective of the seminar is to enhance the professional qualifications of the faculty, enrich their knowledge of innovative pedagogical technologies and methodologies, and ensure the effective organization of the educational process in specialized disciplines.
The seminar is attended by the professors, teachers, and staff of the Institute, as well as the instructors from the "Khadichai Kubro" Women's Madrasah.
Speaking at the event, Adiz Boboyev, Khokim of the Samarkand region, Abdulaziz Aqqulov, Chairman of the Tourism Committee, and Muhammad Irfan Yusuf, Minister of Hajj and Umrah of the Republic of Indonesia, noted that the Imam Bukhari complex, newly constructed at the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, has been an important step in the development of pilgrimage tourism in our country.
During the reconstruction of the complex, more than twenty hotels and modern infrastructure for tourists were established around it.
The 240-bed "Hadith Hotel," built in collaboration with Indonesian investors, is the largest accommodation facility around the Imam Bukhari complex and, at the same time, the first five-star hotel. The hotel has established a modern service system, harmonizing international hotel standards with national traditions of hospitality and pilgrimage etiquette.
As part of the event, a meeting was held between Adiz Boboyev, Khokim of the Samarkand region, and Muhammad Irfan Yusuf, Minister of Hajj and Umrah of Indonesia. During the meeting, they discussed issues such as attracting a large number of Indonesian pilgrims to Samarkand and launching special flights under the "Umrah+" program, among other matters.
Previously, one of the hotels built on the territory of the complex was purchased by an Indonesian entrepreneur, creating opportunities to receive pilgrims from that country.
