History

The mosque was built in 1885 through hashar, voluntary community labour, led by Abdu Mumin Bobo, a man revered locally as a saintly figure, and it bears his name.

Under Soviet rule it became a collective-farm warehouse used to store chemicals. After independence the building was returned to the faithful and reopened as a mosque in 1992; its entrance, courtyard, prayer hall and ablution block have since been refurbished.

Official list: Listed by the Samarkand branch of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan (sammuslim.uz).

Visiting a mosque: cover shoulders and knees (women should wear a headscarf) and take your shoes off at the door; avoid prayer times and ask before taking photos.
