Introduction:
Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s
initiative to
establish the Center for Islamic Civilization is one of the
important steps in preserving the cultural heritage of
our country and introducing it to the world community.
The establishment of this center in 2017 plays an
important role in introducing the cultural heritage of
Uzbekistan to future generations and the world.
Through this center, great opportunities are created for
promoting the scientific, cultural and religious heritage
of Uzbekistan and promoting its values on an
international scale .
As the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Sh.Mirziyoyev noted, «The purpose of building this
center is to study Islamic enlightenment, to convey the
great heritage of our ancestors, primarily to our people
and the world community. God willing, all our efforts
will create a foundation for youth education, science,
culture, and peace and tranquility» .
Of course, the establishment of this center as a

comprehensive
scientific
institution
for
the
educational development of society and the state has
socio-political significance. Indeed, it is significant in
that it was established «To convey to the world
community the invaluable services of our great
thinkers in the development of world science and
culture, the prosperity of religious sciences, and to
promote and research our religious and educational
values».
The invaluable contribution of great scholars and
thinkers who emerged from the lands of today’s
Uzbekistan, as the first Renaissance in the East - the
Muslim Renaissance, to the development of world
science and culture, and the holy religion of Islam, has
been rightfully recognized by the world scientific
community. In particular, the Mamun Academy
founded in Khorezm in the 9th-11th centuries, the
Mirzo Ulugbek Scientific School formed in Samarkand
in the 15th century, and the cultural environment
formed by our great ancestors such as Alisher Navoi
and Husayn Boykaro in Khorasan have become famous
throughout the world with their rich spiritual heritage.
Filling the magnificent building of the Center for Islamic
Civilization in Uzbekistan with high-quality and
meaningful content requires a special responsibility
from each of us. Of course, over the seven years since
the center was founded, a large scientific and creative
team of experienced and knowledgeable scientists has
been working on it.
It is worth noting that this large-scale project was
prepared based on proposals from seven years ago.
Over the past period, many changes have occurred in
Uzbekistan and the world, information technologies
are increasingly developing, new innovations are
entering our lives. Therefore, in the second half of the
year, work was carried out to analyze and develop this
megaproject in light of today’s conditions.
In particular, at the Republican Forum of Scientists held
in 2024, at the VIII International Congress on the
theme «The Heritage of the Great Ancestors - the
Foundation of the Third Renaissance», at the
International Cultural Heritage Week, and during
business trips to countries such as Saudi Arabia,
France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey,
attention was paid to improving the activities of our
Center, updating its concept, enriching its content, and
strengthening international ties.
August 23-26, 2024 The VIII International Congress «The
Heritage of Our Ancestors - The Foundation of the Third
Renaissance», held in Tashkent and Samarkand on 11-
12 September, was also rich in many bright moments
and discoveries. About 200 local and foreign scientists
and specialists participated in the congress, and more
than 170 projects and about 300 proposals were
presented .
In particular, the head of the «Al-Furqan» Foundation in
Great Britain, Sali Shahsivari, presented a project to
study copies of the fiqh manuscript «Mahosin ash-
sharia» by our great compatriot Qaffol Shoshi in world
funds. As is known, this work of the famous jurist Qaffol
Shoshi (903-976), who was born and raised in Tashkent,
has not been studied enough in our country. The project
to collect copies of «Mahosin ash-sharia» will allow us
to get acquainted with the heritage of our great
compatriot. Therefore, during meetings in Samarkand
and London with the head of the «Al-Furqan»
Foundation, Sali Shahsivari, an agreement was reached
on the joint implementation of this project.
The International Cultural Heritage Week «The
Phenomenon of the Eastern Renaissance: Kingdoms,
Civilizations, People and Discoveries», held in Tashkent
from October 18 to 26, 2024, was also memorable with
interesting presentations and new information.
Karim Ifrak, head of the French Institute of Academic
Studies, and Dr. Halit Eren, professor at Tekirdag
University, presented a number of rare Quran projects
directly related to Uzbekistan during the Cultural
Heritage Week. Among them, the Quran manuscript
sent by the Khan of Kokand Amir Umar Khan as a gift to
the Turkish Sultan, the Quran of Amir Temur from the
14th century, and a copy of the Mushaf copied by one
of the Temurid queens, Shodmalik Begum, occupy a
special place. German orientalist Aysima Mirsultan
reported on the discovery of valuable albums in the
Turkic language created during the Babur period. This
album shows that the great Baburs remained faithful to
their culture, history, native language and literature
despite the passage of centuries.

In conclusion, it can be said that 2024 was a year of
unique achievements, research and discoveries for the
Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan. At our
scientific conferences held throughout the year, more
than a thousand proposals and projects for the
concept and content of the Center were presented by
local and foreign scientists and specialists. Based on
the feedback, it was decided to divide the Center's
platform into five main sections. This decision was also
approved by the Extended Scientific Council of the
Center.
