Fifta Wardhani, an officer of the Public Relations Department at Indonesia’s Cultural Heritage Agency, shared her views on the common roots connecting the two countries during her visit to the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan.

The territory of Uzbekistan has long been one of the political, economic, and cultural centers of Central Asia. The exhibition of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan presents these historical stages based on scholarly evidence.

Deputy Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia and Rector of the Moscow Islamic Institute, Damir Mukhetdinov, highly praised the establishment of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, which harmoniously combines spirituality and knowledge. Indeed, one of the most precious treasures of the Center’s museum is undoubtedly the Qur’an Hall, where the Kaaba covering (kiswah), presented to Uzbekistan by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last summer, and the famous Uthman Qur’an are displayed. According to Damir Mukhetdinov, visiting such a sacred place spiritually prepares a person for the pilgrimage to the House of Allah, the Kaaba.
