Key words:

patriotism, humanism, nationalism, enlightenment, idea.
Such important tasks as restoring our traditions, flawlessly transmitting the spiritual, educational,
and cultural heritage that has come down to us from our ancestors to our descendants have
become urgent in terms of their importance.
As is known, for the prosperity of any nation, the formation of national pride among its
representatives, especially among its youth, is of paramount importance. And for the upbringing
of young people as perfect human beings, the history of each nation, the material and spiritual
values created by its ancestors, are the main sources. The more significant this source is
in the past of any nation, the faster the formation of national pride in young people will be
effective. It is true that the East is important for, and perhaps, world civilization.
“We understand well that this is, first of all, related to improving the education and enlightenment
system, directing young people, who are the future of our country, to modern knowledge, and
educating a well-rounded personality. "As a result of the implementation of the National
Personnel Training Program adopted in 1997 and other state programs, this sector has been
radically reformed, and a modern continuous education system has been created," emphasizes our
President Sh.M. Mirziyoyev.
In order to further strengthen the interest in the works of great scholars in the comprehensive
formation of a harmonious personality, studying the works of Abdurauf Fitrat affects the
formation of scientific worldviews, thinking, feelings and positive qualities of a harmonious
generation.
Abdurauf Fitrat loved the Motherland, considered it our blessing.
Fitrat, in his works, describes the beauty of the Motherland and says:
Brothers, here is a country for you -
Like no other on earth.
Wide, lush green meadows everywhere,
Flowers that have grown from the water of life...
Fitrat called on his compatriots to love and protect their beloved homeland, Turkestan. He
addressed the youth and called on them to be selfless and courageous for the happiness, prosperity,
and prosperity of this Motherland and nation:
Young man, in your beautiful, radiant eyes
I have read the happiness and prosperity of this nation.
In your thinking, in your life, and in yourself

I have seen the salvation for this country.
Don't stop - run, don't stop - stand, don't bend - rise.
Don't cower - fight, don't be afraid - hide, don't break - move.
Fitrat wrote in an article published in the newspaper "Hurriyat":
"... everyone should believe in their own strength and capabilities. Whoever does not believe in
their own strength and strives for their desired goals, will certainly fall halfway. Whoever believes,
will certainly bring what they have started to the end. We see these human feelings in nations as
well. Nations that do not believe in their national strength will inevitably fall into disarray. A
people that expects outside help to realize their aspirations will slowly fall into the abyss...»
Fitrat, expressing his opinion on the striving of national forces for unity between the February and
October Revolutions of 1917, addressed them and said:
“Muslims of Turkestan, let us unite in the name of Allah, in the name of the Prophet, religion, and
nation: let us close our eyes to the claims and class divisions that exist among us. In the name of
the supreme commandment of Islam, in the name of brotherhood and unity, for the sake of Allah,
religion, homeland, and nation, let us all - the new, the old, the mullahs, and the rich - unite,
gather in one place, and help each other.”
Fitrat highly appreciated the importance of knowledge and enlightenment in the development of
society, human perfection, and the development of culture.
According to the story "Imam Ghazali" from Fitrat's book "Education", Imam Ghazali studied in a
madrasa in Baghdad, and after finishing it, he put his books in a bag, loaded them on a horse, and
rode off to his city. When he reached the top of the mountain, he met robbers. The robbers took
all his wealth and books, leaving him naked. Imam Ghazali followed them. Then the chief robber
looked behind him and, seeing him, said that he would not follow them, otherwise he would
behead him.
Ghazali begged them to return his books. He said that without the books he would remain
ignorant.
Fitrat praised the importance of family and community in human development, and human
qualities such as the perfection of reason, moral purity, wisdom, courage, and justice, and
emphasized that a person cannot achieve happiness without the results of intellectual power and
the guidance of reason. He addressed teachers, saying that teachers should be leaders in this area,
and urged them to show the right path to the Turkish people:
Comrades, let us gather together and destroy the house of anger,
Let us tear away the dark curtains that have blinded the people.
We are the lions of enlightenment, the land of knowledge,
Let us gather together and open the right path to the Turkish people.
For Fitrat, the peace and prosperity of the nation are greater than any values. He emphasized that
people, regardless of their religion, sect, tribe, or nationality, are children of one father and one
sex. Therefore, they should be at peace with each other.
Abdurauf Fitrat expressed the ideas of patriotism, humanity, nationalism, and enlightenment in his
scientific, literary, and educational works, and considered it his conscientious duty to spread
enlightenment widely.

Fitrat fought for the prosperity of the Motherland, the freedom and well-being of the people and
nation. On this path, he himself became a symbol and example of selflessness, caring for the
youth, expressing his opinion on raising them physically healthy and educated. His ideas about
patriotism, nationalism, and the development of science are still valuable for the present era.
