Forty advocates of spiritual enlightenment familiarized themselves with the Center’s exhibitions
Spirituality and enlightenment cannot be formed in isolation from history it is essential to feel it, understand it, and connect it with modern thinking. With this goal, forty promoters of spirituality, consisting of heads of spirituality and enlightenment departments from 22 districts and cities of Tashkent region, as well as chief editors of local newspapers, paid a visit to the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan.
During the visit, participants closely observed the wide-ranging historical processes reflected in the Center’s exhibitions from the pre-Islamic period through the stages of the First and Second Renaissances to the development path of the New Uzbekistan. The scientifically well-developed content, visual coherence, and modern presentation methods left a deep impression on the guests.
The visit of the spirituality and enlightenment representatives began in the “Hall of Honor.” Here, monumental compositions have been created depicting the high civilization formed on the land of Uzbekistan and the invaluable contribution of our great ancestors to the development of world science and spirituality.
The exhibitions dedicated to the pre-Islamic period, ancient urban culture, archaeological findings, and scenes of people’s lives sparked particular interest among the visitors. In the First and Second Renaissance sections, information presented through the lives and scholarly heritage of great thinkers, manuscripts, inventions, and interactive solutions enabled a deeper understanding of historical processes.
Especially striking was the vivid portrayal of the historical atmosphere through national costumes, traditional women’s clothing, and ancient chess and checkers games, which gave guests the feeling of being immersed in the spirit of that era.
Nazokat Umarova, Head of the Chirchiq City Department of the Republican Center for Spirituality and Enlightenment:
“We pay special attention to regularly taking young people to museums. Our visit to the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan was no coincidence. Here, the consistent and interconnected development of the First and Second periods and the New Uzbekistan is clearly demonstrated. Whether in medicine, education, military affairs, or culture, each sphere is presented as a whole with its own history and development, which is extremely valuable.”
Salim Anorboev, Head of the Tashkent Region Department of the Republican Center for Spirituality and Enlightenment:
“I had heard about this place before, but seeing it with my own eyes gave me a completely different impression. Especially when I saw the enormous contribution to human health through our ancestor Abu Ali ibn Sina’s work ‘The Canon of Medicine,’ I felt proud to be a child of this blessed land. I am confident that this Center will become a high spiritual space promoting the ideas of a New Renaissance not only in Uzbekistan, but across the entire Islamic world and globally.
As promoters of spirituality working in 22 districts and cities of Tashkent region, we will actively share the impressions we gained here with the wider public, especially among young people. We have set ourselves the important task of bringing young people, elders, and socially vulnerable citizens to this Center.”
According to the general conclusion of the visit participants, the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, with its rich content, broad historical scope, and modern presentation style, is an important scholarly and educational space for all institutions operating in the field of spirituality and enlightenment.
