History
Тinternal start date of construction of madrasah is disputable today. Long time in a historiography of the Soviet period the version based on conclusions of the famous archeologists and scientists-orientalists M.E. Masson and G.A. Pugachenkov according to whom construction of the building was carried out during the period from 1530 to 1535/1536 dominated. However the last researches in this area shift start date of construction almost for two decades before this term. Now it is known that the madrasah of Miri the Arab was constructed in commemoration of a victory of the army of sheybanid over troops of the sefevidsky shah Ismail I in fight at Gizhduvana won in 1512. It is also known that final construction works were performed on the money of Ubaydulla-hana received by it from sale in slavery of 3000 captured Iranians, and the last large collisions of sheybanid with Iran took place in the first half of the 1520th years. Sheikh Abdullah Yamani who died in 1526 before death bequeathed to bury himself in the territory of the madrasah constructed by it that also demonstrates that by this time construction was almost complete. It is probable that in 1530 — 1535/1536 years the building of madrasah was significantly reconstructed. The madrasah received the modern name "Miri Arab" (property of the Arab) after the death of its founder.
From the moment of the basis and before closing in the early twenties the madrasah of Miri the Arab was one of the most prestigious educational institutions of Central Asia.

In 1945 after long negotiations with governmental bodies the mufti of the Central Asian spiritual management of Muslims (SADUM) Eshon Babakhan achieved resumption of work of madrasah of Miri the Arab. For many years it was the only Islamic educational institution in the USSR thanks to what became widely known in all the Islamic world. And statesmen as the chairman of the board of muftis of Russia Ravil Gaynutdin, the mufti of Azerbaijan Allakhshukyur Pashazade, the mufti of Kazakhstan Ratbek Nysanbayuly, the president of the Chechen Republic Ahmad Kadyrov were his graduates during the Soviet and Post-Soviet period such known religious.
