Munawwar Qari Abdurashidkhanov

He was born at Tashkent in 1878, the youngest child in a family of Islamic scholars; the Uzbek article's infobox alone gives a day, 4 November 1878, carried by no other edition ^{1 2}. He studied at the Yunuskhan madrasa in Tashkent and at the Mir-i-Arab madrasa in Bukhara (1885–1890), memorised the Qur'an with tajwid under Osman Domla, and worked as an imam and teacher ^{1 3}.

In 1901, after the example of Ismail Gasprinsky, he converted his home into Tashkent's first new-method (usul-i jadid) school, and within two years a second school opened under his supervision ¹. He wrote textbooks for the new schools, among them Adibi avval, Adibi soniy, Tazvid al-Qur'an, Yer yuzi and Khavoratnoma, and he translated works from Russian and Ottoman Turkish ².

He edited the newspapers Khurshid (1906) and Shuhrat (1907–1908) and worked on Tujjor, Sadoyi Turkiston and Najot; in February 1917 he chaired the Turkestan Muslim congress that founded Shuroi Islomiya, which he led in Tashkent ^{1 3}. Under Soviet rule he worked in the education commissariat's academic centre and, from 1924, at the Samarkand museum ¹.

Arrested in 1925 as an alleged leader of a pan-Turkist organisation, he was deported for three years, amnestied in 1927, rearrested in November 1929, and shot in Moscow — the Russian article and Wikidata give 23 May 1931, the Uzbek article 23 April 1931, a direct conflict carried in the record ^{3 2 4}. He was buried in the Vagankovo cemetery and rehabilitated in 1965 ³.

No source read names a school or affiliation for Munawwar Qari: the texts attest his scholarly family, his madrasa education, his Qur'an memorisation and his offices as imam and teacher, and his leadership of an Enlightenment of Islam organisation is an organisational role, not an affiliation statement; Wikidata's religion value is Islam in general ^{1 4}. His faith segment is therefore recorded as unknown.
