It is emphasized that the Center’s activities are aimed at preserving Islam, studying, and supporting the great contributions of scholars and thinkers in Islamic history.

As highlighted, the majestic building of the Center consists of three floors and is constructed in the style of Uzbekistan’s ancient architectural monuments. The harmonious blend of national domes, portals, and intricate ornamentation gives the building a unique beauty and grandeur. “The main part of the Center will feature the Qur’an Hall, which will house one of the spiritual treasures of the Muslim world – the ancient Mushaf of Uthman”, the publication notes.
The article further underscores that promoting spiritual and educational dialogue, developing intercultural and interfaith communication, and strengthening cooperation with international organizations, particularly UNESCO and ICESCO, are among the Center’s key priorities.
