Students, professors, and teachers of the Hadith School in the Samarkand region, along with a professor from Al-Azhar University in Egypt, acknowledged that the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, established at the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, is of great importance not only in its external scale but also in its content.

Upon entering the Center, the guests first familiarized with the modern classrooms and the state-of-the-art library located on the second floor. The conditions created here clearly demonstrate that the Center is not merely a museum, but also a place offering broad opportunities for scholars — researchers, academics, and youth. This stands as a practical expression of the high level of attention given to the academic community in our country.

A lecture session was organized for the students and teachers of the Hadith School by the Center’s Chief Researcher, Zohidulla Munavvarov. During the session, the scientific concept and structure of the Center were explained in detail, and the historical processes were consistently presented — from the pre-Islamic period, through the early stages of Islam, the First and Second Renaissances, up to the foundation of today’s Third Renaissance.

Following these scientific explanations, the guests closely familiarized themselves with the museum section of the Center and its exhibitions.

Abdurashid Madrahimov, a teacher at the Hadith School:

The external appearance of the Center made a very strong impression on us. With its grandeur, it reflects the true image of Islamic civilization. As our President has emphasized, one can immediately feel that this place symbolizes an entire civilization. When we entered inside, our impressions grew even stronger — honestly, we had neither imagined nor seen such beauty and perfection before.

Yunus Khojamov, a student of the Hadith School:

Upon entering this place, we witness that thanks to the initiatives and efforts of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, such a magnificent center of culture, enlightenment, and knowledge has been established. Anyone who visits this Center can easily gain a clear understanding of the history that has taken place and continues in Uzbekistan within just two or three hours. For example, I had the opportunity to see in a vivid way the knowledge I had previously read in textbooks and to form a complete picture of our history before my eyes. Observing the exhibits here allows us to visualize who the true geniuses behind the knowledge we study are.

According to Professor Salah Issa of Al-Azhar University in Egypt, Islamic civilization is presented at a very high level in this great country.

At this Center, we explored numerous exhibitions reflecting the early civilization of Islam and its subsequent periods. We saw the expositions dedicated to Imam al-Bukhari and al-Tirmidhi, and became acquainted with their lives, scientific legacy, and copies of their works. After that, we visited the Qur’an Hall and witnessed the high-level representation of Islamic civilization. The establishment of this Center at the initiative of the President is a very beautiful and important step, reminding Muslims of their early civilization, science, and culture. Indeed, Islamic civilization teaches humanity high knowledge, profound thinking, rich culture, and noble morality.
