The head of state proposed to establish an electronic museum showing the life of Imam Bukhari near the complex.
- Recently, when we were in Medina, we saw the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and the museum of Islamic civilization. It would be good if we could establish a similar museum here. It will show the life of our muhaddith Imam Bukhari, the path of knowledge, the history of that time through information technologies.
