The name “Minor” comes from the Arabic word “manor,” meaning “beacon” or “elevation.” Local elders say that this area was historically higher than other parts of the city.
On October 4, 2014, on the eve of Mubarek Kurbon Khayit, President Islam Karimov attended the mosque's opening ceremony alongside architects, builders, and local elders. The mosque was praised for its architectural beauty, which blends traditional craftsmanship with modern elements.
The mosque features white marble, giving it a striking and luxurious appearance. Inside, intricate carvings, golden decorations, and handwoven carpets create a refined and spiritual atmosphere. The pavilions in the courtyard showcase Uzbekistan’s national art of carving.
Designed for comfort in all seasons, the mosque is equipped with modern heating and cooling systems. Its prayer halls, imam’s office, and staff facilities ensure a welcoming environment for visitors and worshippers alike.
When visiting the Minor Mosque or other religious sites in Uzbekistan, women are advised to cover exposed areas such as the back, shoulders, and legs.
