Complex "Masjid Ali".

The Tashkent oasis is world-famous not only for its high economic and political status, but also for the great scholars, saints and shrines who were born and raised in this land. Along with trade, cultural and scientific exchanges, pilgrimage ceremonies were held on the Great Silk Road. In particular, caravan traders visited the shrines before and after the long journey. One of the shrines located on such a trade route is located in the village of Kumushkon, Parkent district, Tashkent region, where in the IX-XI centuries there were famous silver mines. Therefore, this corner of Parkent district is one of the historical and natural zones of the Tashkent oasis. The shrine of Masjid Ali is named after Hazrat Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.v). It is known that the descendants of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who were glorified as “Ahl al-Bayt” for the Muslim community, are the successors of the “Sayyids” after the Noble Messenger.

Pilgrimages to Hazrat Ali and his descendants are common in Muslim lands. The shrines of Khalifa Ali in the villages of Najaf (Iraq), Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan) and Shahimardon in the Fergana Valley have long been revered.

It is narrated that Hazrat Ali came here on the horse of Duldul. He wanted to rest under a plane tree and pray. When he could not find water for ablution, he prayed to Allah. By the grace of Allah, a spring appeared. For this reason, the spring was called Saint-spring by the local people. Hazrat Ali watered the legendary Duldul horse with spring water. Today the shrine is famous for its 750-800-year-old giant maple tree and medicinal spring, which are visited not only by pilgrims and tourists from Uzbekistan, but also from neighboring countries.

In 2010, the shrine was rebuilt on the basis of oriental architecture. A mosque with a blue dome, a mausoleum, a minaret, a corridor leading to the shrine, a kitchen for pilgrims, a birdhouse for sacrifice and rest rooms were built and turned into a unique shrine. The mosque at the mosque Ali Shrine is the tallest mosque in Uzbekistan. The village of Kumushkon is clearly visible from the shrine. Pilgrims pray for Hazrat Ali and offer sacrifices. They tied a piece of cloth to a maple tree (shirk is not allowed at this time). Muqaddas Bulak water is a cure for various wounds with its minerals. Pilgrims visit a lot, mainly in spring and autumn. The mosque has all the conditions for women and men to pray. Several copies of the Qur'an are placed in the mosque.
