Abstract

In Uzbekistan, the development of the mahalla, its socio-economic and 
cultural advancement, as well as the revival of national customs and traditions, have been 
identified as priority objectives. Since ancient times, local people have lived within the 
framework of family, neighborhood, mahalla, and community relations. Along with being 
a small administrative unit, the mahalla can also be understood as a community of people 
united by a shared way of life, values, traditions, and customs. This article examines the 
mahalla as a center of national and religious values. It analyzes national and religious 
values that have been formed within the mahalla environment over centuries, including 
peace, social harmony, kindness, compassion, etiquette of greeting, and respect for the 
elderly.
