Good news: “The magazine “Hidoyat” has launched religious lessons for children”
The first edition of 2018 of “Hidoyat” journal of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan has introduced new column with the title “Kids section” which foresees religious lessons for kids.
The lessons are given in Latin alphabet. Here is the first lesson presented.
First lesson: Respected words
Assalamu alaykum dear kids!
Now say “Bismillahir rohmanir rohim” and sit down. Why do we say so? Do you know the meaning? It means “I begin with name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful”. Every muslim whatever he/she does they should start their actions with these words. Any action which started without “bismillah” would not have any ending. We muslims even do not eat meat of an animal which was slaughtered without “bismillah”.
There is also one another phrase you should know. It is “Auzu billahi minash shaytonir rojim” which is translated as “I seek refuge from the evil of abandoned devil”. If you read even one ayat from Qur’an then say first this phrase.
In order to read Qur’an you should first perform wudu. Makin wudu is not difficult. Firstly wash you hands with your elbows, then rinse you mouth three times, with indicating fingers wash your teeth, rinse your nose three times, and wash your face three times. Then water your hand and go around your head, ears with your wet palms. You can also ask your parents to show you how to do these acts and they would teach you.
Now this is enough dear kids! Good bye!
Ahmad Muhammad

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.
