At the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, preparations for the opening of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan currently under construction are progressing consistently and at a rapid pace. This grand project is designed not only to impress with its architecture but also to fully reflect the nation’s rich historical and spiritual heritage through its content and essence.

The megaproject underway in our country the “Second Renaissance” exhibition organized at the Center of Islamic Civilization Uzbekistan at the initiative of the Head of State is gaining increasing international relevance for the themes it encompasses.

The history of Islamic philosophy, theology, and Sufism speaks with special reverence of Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Tusi al-Ghazali (1058–1111). His thoughts and activities particularly his work Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences) have left a profound mark on Islamic spirituality and intellectual life. A manuscript copy of this work dating to the late 13th century is currently preserved at the Abu Rayhan Biruni Institute of Manuscripts (inv. no. 6108), further enhancing its scholarly and cultural significance.

Every innovation and discovery is rooted deeply in history. Today’s achievements in medical science are founded on millennia of experience, intellectual legacy, and scholarly research. Especially during the Eastern Renaissance, the scientific heritage of physicians, scholars, and scientists remains relevant even today. Among them, the name of Abu Mansur Hasan ibn Nuh al-Qumri deserves special recognition.
