Abstract

This article examines the large-scale work being carried out in New 
Uzbekistan to study and widely promote the rich scientific and spiritual heritage of the 
great scholars of the region. It reviews the activity of the scholarly institutions established 
for this purpose, their cooperation with international organisations such as IRCICA, 
ICESCO, and UNESCO, and the state’s attention to figures such as Imam al-Bukhari. 
It surveys the contributions of leading scholars – among them Imam al-Bukhari, al-
Maturidi, al-Zamakhshari, al-Marghinani, al-Khwarazmi, Ibn Sina, al-Farghani, Mirzo 
Ulugbek, and Alisher Navoi – and concludes with a set of recommendations for the further 
study of this heritage, including the cataloguing and investigation of the manuscripts 
preserved in Uzbekistan.
