Background
[edit]Dost Chuhra Oga Madrasah was built by Dostmirza in 1585 during the reign of Bukhara Khanate, Abdullah Khan ibn Iskandar Khan, in the Dost Chuhra Oga guzar.[1] According to Abdurauf Fitrat, the amount of the annual endowment was 40,000 tanga. Research scientist Abdusattor Jumanazarov studied a number of foundation documents related to this madrasah and provided information related to the madrasah.[2] The foundation document of this madrasah has been preserved in two copies. Both foundation documents are copies, copied during the reign of Amir Shahmurad, the emir of Bukhara.
