First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Director of the Center and my friends in Uzbekistan for inviting me to visit the Islamic Civilization Center. This Center embodies remarkable stories about civilization, humanity, and the people of Uzbekistan who have lived on this land for thousands of years. They have made an immense contribution to our shared history, science, culture, and faith.

Coming here is not merely a historical visit. It is also a journey of profound significance for the human spirit. From this perspective, Uzbekistan is not only a country with a great history, outstanding leaders, and a rich culture, and I congratulate you on this remarkable achievement. This is an invaluable contribution not only to the history of your nation, not only to religion and Islam, but to all of humanity.
