Abstract

Abdulaziz Khan ( 1062-1092 A.H / 1651 – 1681 A.D) was a cultured man and fond of devotional poetry. Resources reported his love for the teachings of Islam, as shown in his role as an important patron in Bukhara in the second half of the 11th A.H./17th A.D. century. He supported the Sheikhs in their cause for the revival of Sunnah as he had considerable interest in this aspect and spent a lot of money on the construction of mosques, Madrasas, and other houses of worship more than other establishments. The present study aims to identify the architectural and artistic characteristics of the works of Abdulaziz Khan. The planning of the Khan's architectural collection followed the dominant pattern in Bukhara. In other words, Abdulaziz Khan was one of the prominent figures that helped develop the Islamic culture, as shown in the architectural and artistic aspects of his buildings. Moreover, the study stresses the various civilizational and cultural manifestations of this heritage. It highlights prominent figures that played a key role in Bukhara and Central Asia.
