In front of this madrasa, Domulla Ahmadjon also built a school of baked brick, wood and plaster. Domulla Ahmadjon endowed 363 plots of land in the north river district of Bukhara, a bathhouse in Chorbogi Oliya, and three shops in the Asiriy neighborhood, to ensure the functioning of the madrasa and the school. In this madrasa, every Friday, the imam and the school teacher recited the "Ikhlas" sura three times and dedicated the reward to the founder’s soul.
