At the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, a final consultative meeting was held with the participation of scholars to discuss the placement of texts, data, and media products prepared for museum exhibitions onto a dedicated digital platform.

The history of astronomy reflects humanity’s quest to look up at the sky, to understand mysterious phenomena, and to transition toward a rational scientific foundation. In 960, the famous astronomer ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Sufi revised Ptolemy’s star catalog and, with the help of the astrolabe, created one of the earliest star maps that still holds significance today.

Among the thinkers whose works are planned to be featured in the exhibition of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is Azizuddin Nasafi. The Center’s main mission is to collect the rich Islamic and spiritual heritage formed on the territory of our country, to study it on a scientific basis, and to present it to the world community through modern means. Nasafi is one of the heirs of this heritage, remembered in history as a scholar who, in the 13th century, explained complex Sufi ideas in a simple and fluent language.
