In particular, our President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev; under the latter’s auspices, the Centre of Islamic Civilization is being established in Uzbekistan, and the Imam Bukhara International Research Centre in Samarkand. Future projects of these centres are an example of this new development.
The establishment of these centres is also of great importance in the internationalisation process of our country. The world ought to become acquainted with the names of scientists born and raised upon this land. For the contribution of Independence, many of our scholars have been able to study the life and works of Abul Muin Nasafi on a scientific basis.
Uzbek leader in a conversation with religious figures noted that the works of our great ancestor are of great importance today, it is necessary to publish these works and bring their essence and meaning to the younger generation. In this complex, a hand-written copy of the Holy Quran is kept. It is made on Samarkand paper, decorated with calligraphic elements.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said that such books are an invaluable heritage of our people, which must be carefully preserved. The famous scholar of theology, the thinker Abu Muin Nasafi was born in 1027 in Karshi (Nasaf). He studied here and perfected his knowledge. Abu Muin Nasafi lived in the XI century and was one of the prominent representatives of science akida.
As he played an important role in the dissemination of the teaching of the Maturidia, founded by Abu Mansur Maturidi. Muin Nasafi in his works aimed at clarifying misconceptions about Islam, the struggle against religious fanaticism. He was buried in the Kovchin village of Karshi district. Abu Mu’in Nasafi died in 1114 in Samarkand. Abu al-Muin Nasafi is one of the great scholars of theology, and he was one of the scholars who greatly contributed to the spread of the doctrine of Maturidia, founded by Abu Mansur Al Maturidi.
