The President’s initiative put forward at the UN has been supported: Exhibitions at the Center for Islamic Civilization are being renewed

 

In his historic address at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized that the inauguration of a unique project for the region the Center for Islamic Civilization was expected in the coming days. The Head of State also highlighted Uzbekistan’s efforts in promoting a policy of tolerance, deeply studying and disseminating the ideas of Islamic enlightenment, stating: “A special presentation of the rich spiritual and scientific heritage of our great ancestors the eminent scholars Imam Bukhari, Imam Termizi, and Imam Maturidi will be held at the United Nations”.

 

Based on this initiative, the next meeting of the Scientific Council at the Center for Islamic Civilization discussed the issue of improving the content of the museum exhibitions.

 

According to the Center’s Director, Firdavs Abdukhalikov, one of the most unique exhibits the sacred Kaaba covering (Kiswah) brought from Saudi Arabia has attracted great interest from visitors. Therefore, in order to ensure thematic harmony within the exhibition, it was proposed to create dedicated sections about our ancestors in line with the President’s initiative advanced from the international stage.

 

In particular, supporting President Mirziyoyev’s initiatives, Firdavs Abdukhalikov suggested allocating three special capsules in the “First Renaissance” exhibition to Imam Bukhari, Imam Termizi, and Imam Maturidi:

 

“Each capsule should deeply reflect the religious and educational reforms in our country and the heritage of our ancestors”, he said.

 

 

Members of the Scientific Council and scholars approved these proposals. Representatives of the Imam Termizi and Imam Maturidi research centers also expressed their readiness to cooperate in this work.

 

It should be noted that the “First Renaissance Era” exhibition covers the 9th–13th centuries and is presented through seven thematic capsules. The design of these projects is being developed by Italy’s Magister Art company.
