GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY.

TODAY THE NEXT DAY OF OUR PRACTICE, AND WE WENT TO THE MAG'OKI ATTOR MOSQUE.

AND NOW I WANT TO TALK YOU ABOUT THIS MOSQUE.

NOW LETS START MY DEARS💓

Maghoki Attori Mosque (Mag'oki Attor Masjidi) is historical mosque in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It forms a part of the historical religious complex of Labi Houz.The mosque is located in the historical centre of Bukhara,  about 300 meters southwest of POLI-KALYAN, 100 meter southwest of TOQI TELPAK FURUSHON tarding dome and 100 meters east of Labi Houz. It is a part of UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Bukhara. Today , the mosque is used as a carpet museum.

It is speculated as built in the 9th to 10th century on the remains of a Zoroastrian temple from the pre-Islamic era. Before the Arab conquest there was a bazaar on the site  of Maghoki Attori Mosque. It was a market for idols, potions and species- attor (perfumes) and other goods. Besides this, there was a formerly a Temple of the Moon(Mah) close to this place.Before the construction of the first synagogue, Jews in Bukhara had shared a place in the mosque with Muslims. Some say that Bukharian Jews and Muslims worshipped alongside each other in the sameplace at the same time. Other sources insist  that Jews worshipped after Muslims. The mosque is also notable for being one of the oldest surviving mosques in Central Asia and one of the time before the Mongolian invasion 

In the 12th century, when Karakhanids reigned in Bukhara, the mosque was substantially rebuilt and re-dressed. It also received a new main facade in the south. In the middle of the 15th century, it was restored and a new portal with ayvan was built in the eastern ground. At the beginning of the 1930s the mosque was restored again.

The building has a rectangular ground plan of 12x 7.5 square meters. In the main axis of the building, the flat roof carries two octagonal tholobates with latticed arched windows. They also have octagonal domes. The floor of the mosque is aBOUT 4.50 METERS BELOW THE EARTH SURFACE. This is the reason for the mosque is the Magoki- Kurpa Mosque located about 150 meters nortweast Narshakhi, in his History of Bukhara, named the mosque built on the site of the former temple "maghak", "pit", because even then half of it was concealed from view by the soil level. The southern facade is most richly equipped and was the former main entrance. Ornaments are mainly made by the arrangement of cut and carved bricks and by terracota tiles with floral motifs.The pointed arch of the ayvan is resting on two quarter columns set in walls, decorated with wattle.On each side of the ayvan, three rectangular frames with decorative patterns are arranged one above the other.

Good. Today's practice is over.

See you soon my lovely subscribers😘🌷🌷
