About the place
Miyon Ahad came to Kokand from Peshawar in 1825, won respect for his learning and became an adviser at the khan's court; locals called him Sohibzoda Hazrat. The madrasa was built for him under the Ming dynasty, paid for from an inheritance he received from home.
It has three courtyards ringed by student cells, each once used for a different level of study, with a plain portal, a mosque and a small minaret. The poet and satirist Muqimi studied here, and his cell is kept as a memorial museum.
