The mosque which has been closed for 20 years is being reconstructed in Namangan

As a result of reforms in religious sphere, a number of mosques are being reopened and reconstructed.

One of such works has been done in Chust city of Namangan region. Prominent chef in Uzbekistan Bahriddin Chustiy notes the following:

Баҳриддин Чустий ижтимоий тармоқлардаги шахсий саҳифаси қуйидаги сўзларни ёзиб қолдирган: 

 “When I was young, there was the mosque on the way to my school. I used to listen to the beautiful azan (prayer for call) and elder people would bring the joy by their attendance. But, for some unknown reasons the mosques had been closed in 1998.”

Several attempts have been done to reopen this mosque for the past years, but all unsuccessful. Thanks to the initiatives of our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, this mosque has also been permitted to reconstruct. There is hope that this mosque start functioning until the beginning of the Ramadan.

First International Forum of Islamic Civilization receives wide coverage in Turkish Media

The 1st International Forum of Islamic Civilization, which recently concluded in Uzbekistan, has received extensive coverage in Türkiye’s leading media outlets - including “Anadolu” News Agency, and news networks “TRT Avaz”, “Haber7”, “Hibya”, “Yerköy”, “TRT Haber”, “RHA Ajans”, “Yeni Şafak” and “Türkiye”, reports Dunyo IA.

An article in the “Yeni Şafak” newspaper, titled “Humanity is looking for a new word, a new breath”, notes that the spiritual heritage of such great thinkers as Imam al-Bukhari, Imam at-Tirmidhi and Imam al-Maturidi embodies the universal values that humanity so deeply needs today.

On the pages of “Haber7”, one of Turkey's most authoritative and popular information portals, an article titled “Renaissance era suits Uzbekistan exceptionally well” was published by Mürsel Gündoğdu, a Maturidism researcher and author. The publication highly praises the reforms underway in New Uzbekistan within the framework of the Third Renaissance concept, the activities of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, and the international significance of the 1st International Forum of Islamic Civilization, held under the motto “The Path of Peace, tolerance and enlightenment”. It is specifically noted that the forum is taking place with the participation of authoritative international organizations and scholars from various countries around the world.

The daily newspaper Türkiye, which has a circulation of approximately 100,000 copies, published an article titled “A bridge between science and diplomacy is being built in Tashkent”. It emphasizes that at a time when global geopolitics is undergoing painful transformations and threats such as radicalism and Islamophobia undermine international stability, constructive initiatives emerging from the cradles of ancient civilizations serve as a strategic compass for all of humanity. The 1st International Forum of Islamic Civilization, held at the majestic Center of Islamic Civilization in the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, went far beyond the scope of a regional cultural event, transforming into an intellectual bridge guiding global diplomacy.
