Eying to be the largest cultural and historic center of Islam in
Central Asian and the world, Tajikistan is planning to build one of
the world’s largest mosques.
"The mosque is expected to accommodate about 150,000 people,” a Tajik
presidential spokesman said in a press release cited by The Financial
website on Monday, September 28.
“Its construction is expected to start in Dushanbe in October."
Funded by the Gulf state of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, the
mosque will be ready by 2014.
Reflecting Tajikistan’s traditional architecture, the mosque will be
built on a space of 7.5 hectares (18.5 acres) in center of the capital
Dushanbe.
"The mosque will be decorated with a majestic minaret, seven painted
columns, embodying the seven steps of God creating the world and the
seven gates to paradise, as well as water reservoirs and fountains,
bearing witness to Tajikistan as a country of pure waters," said the
spokesman. More>> http://islami-news.blogspot.com/2009/09/tajikistan-to-build-worlds-largest.html

Tajikistan bans beards for teachers under 50

Tajikistan has banned school and university teachers under the age of 50 from wearing beards and limited the beard length for older education staff.


Tajikistan has banned school and university teachers under the age of 50 from wearing beards and limited the beard length for older education staff.

Tajikistan, which borders Afghanistan, regards radical Islamic groups as a threat and has cracked down on religious movements which are not in line with the state-sponsored version of Islam.

Men in the mostly Muslim ex-Soviet republic often wear beards as an attribute of faith.

According to the rules, published at the weekend and effective from Oct. 1, teachers aged over 50, can wear "a tidy beard no more than 3 centimetres (1.2 inches) long."

But, in a balancing nod to conservatism, the new rules also prohibit teachers from wearing Western-style clothes such as jeans, mini skirts and T-shirts.

"All those novelties are introduced as part of an ongoing school and higher education reform and are in line with the mentality and the customs of our people," education ministry spokesman Abdulkhamid Nozimov told reporters on Monday.

Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon has earlier banned mobile phones from schools and universities and said students should not arrive for lessons in their own cars.

This is bad news.... I hope courageous Muslims with Iman in their hearts can resist these authorities... It is not just in Tajikistan that such practices are being implemented, it is in Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and many other Muslim Countries. These corrupt regimes that are no more than puppets.... May Allah hasten their demise very soon..................

Inshallah............
