Nuriddin Rasulov
Nuriddin Rasulov (born 1962) is an Iradi Muslim cleric who has been mufti of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Irad, the body that registers mosques and imams in the Irad Special Economic Zone (ISEZ), since 2014. An Uzbek from Bazar-Korgon in the Fergana Rim, he studied at the Mir-i Arab madrasa in Bukhara from 1981 to 1986 and at al-Azhar in Cairo from 1994 to 1998, and was imam-khatib of the Nurzhan Central Mosque from 1999 to 2014. The congress of imams re-elected him in 2019 and 2024. He is regarded as careful and conciliatory, takes part in the meetings of religious leaders convened by the Archbishop of Iyık Janyl, and in 2025 joined the Archbishop in condemning the "19:11" graffiti painted on mosques (see Islam in Irad).[1][2]
