Istisqa Prayer to Be Performed on Friday

Due to the lack of rainfall during this year’s autumn season and the absence of precipitation expected in the coming days, the initiative of the Chairman of the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, Mufti Shaykh Nuriddin Kholiqnazar, has designated 28 November 2025, Friday, for performing Salat al-Istisqa (the prayer for rain) in all mosques across our country after the Friday prayer.

On this occasion, sacrificial animals will be slaughtered at regional, district, and city central mosques, as well as at pilgrimage sites, and the meat will be distributed to families in need, orphans, and the elderly.

On the same day, before the Friday prayer, teachers and students of higher and secondary specialized Islamic educational institutions will complete a full reading (khatm) of Imam al-Bukhari’s Sahih al-Bukhari.

Imams currently performing the ‘umrah pilgrimage in Makkah al-Mukarramah and Madinah al-Munawwarah are encouraged to perform the Salat al-Istisqa together with their groups in the Noble Harams.

“El Mundo Financiero”: Uzbekistan strengthens its position among the world’s safest countries in global safety rankings

An article dedicated to Uzbekistan’s position in the international tourism market has been published in the Spanish publication “El Mundo Financiero”, reports Dunyo IA.

As noted in the article, Uzbekistan has once again been included among the world’s safest countries in the Global Terrorism Index 2026 ranking. Prepared by the Institute for Economics and Peace, the ranking covers 163 countries, and according to the results of 2026, Uzbekistan was placed among the group of the safest countries with a score of 0.014 points.

The publication assessed this result as a reflection of the effectiveness of consistent measures being implemented in the country to ensure public safety, improve the law enforcement system and prevent offenses.

Article also highlighted that foreign tourists feel safe while traveling across Uzbekistan. It emphasized that the system established to ensure security at airports, railway stations, metro facilities, tourist sites, central streets and other public places contributes to strengthening the country’s positive image.

Publication also noted that the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Great Silk Road cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva, as well as modern Tashkent and the country’s traditions of hospitality, are increasingly attracting foreign tourists.

“The results of the “Global Terrorism Index 2026” will further strengthen Uzbekistan’s image as a reliable, stable, and safe country for tourism, business, and international exchanges”, concluded “El Mundo Financiero”.
