Day 5. Said Po Bandikusho mosque.

Day 5.

Said Po Bandikusho mosque.

Hi everyone!!! Today is the 24th of May, fifth day of our practice. Today we visited Said Po Bandikusho mosque. As usual, we gathered at 10:00 and teacher checked our attendance for today. After that we started to give information about the monument one by one. Today Feruza, Malika, Marjona gave a lot of information about the mosque. 

The "Said po Bandi Kusho" Friday mosque is located on Xorazm Street in the city of Bukhara. It is named after Hazrat Said Abulhasan, who passed away in the year 1004. He is descended from Hazrat Imom Hasan and has a lineage of nine generations. He was a scholar and spiritual leader in the Shariat and Tariqat traditions.

Hazrat Said Abulhasan's spiritual mentor was Hazrat Ja'far Kholdi, who was a disciple of Hazrat Junayd Baghdadi. He was also a student of the famous scholar Abu Bakr Is'hoq Gulobodiy. It is said that he had the ability to open and close his handcuffs by himself during prayer time, which was seen as a miracle. This caught the attention of the ruler of Bukhara, who wanted to free him from imprisonment. However, Hazrat Said Abulhasan refused, considering it as a test from Allah.

After his death, Hazrat Said Abulhasan was initially buried near the gate of Samarqand. However, his body was later moved to a courtyard in Degrezi in Bukhara. This was because one of his disciples had a dream where Hazrat Said Abulhasan asked him to bring him back to the courtyard in the city. This relocation was seen as another miracle, as the original burial site had been destroyed.

The mosque named "Said po Bandi Kusho" is located in the courtyard where Hazrat Said Abulhasan's graves are situated. Over time, the mosque has been renovated and improved to provide a comfortable and convenient place for worship.

We have learnt a lot of information about today's place. It was one of the cultural heritage of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It was one of the very great and enjoyable days for us.
