00:29General Assembly, Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed creating a centre in Tashkent
00:35dedicated to preserving and studying the intellectual heritage of the Islamic world.
00:40He presented education and religious tolerance as tools against extremism.
00:45Today, that vision has grown beyond a single institution.
00:49More than 450 scholars, religious leaders, researchers and policymakers from over 50
00:54countries gathers for the first International Forum of Islamic Civilization.
00:59Events were held in Tashkent, Samarkand and Termes.
01:03The first International Forum of Islamic Civilization wasn't simply about looking back at history.
01:09It explored how Islamic scholarship is understood today, how it is passed on to future generations
01:15and why those conversations matter at a time of growing global tensions and religious intolerance.
01:22In a message read at the opening of the Forum, President Mirziyoyev emphasized the role of education,
01:27scientific research and international cooperation in confronting extremism, religious intolerance
01:34and Islamophobia.
01:35The address cited scholars including Al-Hawrezmi, Abu Rayyhan Biruni, Ibn Sina and Mirzolubbek as
01:42evidence of Islamic civilization's contribution to scientific discovery and intellectual progress.
01:48The Forum resulted in the Tashkent Declaration and the Roadmap for 2027-2030 setting out cooperation
01:56in research, education, manuscript preservation and digital access.
02:01New partnerships were also announced between universities, museums and research institutions,
02:06covering joint studies, the conservation of historical material and the digitization of collections.
02:28Behind those agreements was a wider debate about how Islam is represented and understood.
02:34Participants argued that centuries of intellectual and scientific achievements are often absent from
02:40contemporary perceptions of their religion.
02:43It was an incredible idea.
02:46The President of the Uzbekistan Republic of the U.S. was the president of the Tashkent Declaration
02:50of the Islamic Civilization of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of
02:55the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom.
03:05That debate extended beyond Central Asia.
03:09Speakers examined Islam's historical presence in Europe and challenged the idea that it developed
03:15separately from the continent's cultural and intellectual history.
03:21One of the misconceptions is that Europe defines itself as something without Islam.
03:26And I think from my point of view and also from history that Islam is one of the roots of
03:32Europe.
03:32Not the only one, but one of the roots.
03:34In the same time as Christianity, as Judaism, also Islam took place in Europe.
03:38It was in the same time in the early Middle Ages.
03:41The program moved beyond Tashkent to two other centers of Islamic scholarship.
03:46In Samarkand, participants examined the legacy of Imam Al-Maturidi and plans for an innovation
03:53regime dedicated to his work.
03:55Inter-MEASC sessions focused on Imam Al-Tirmidhi and the expansion of international academic cooperation.
04:02The wider aim was to connect the centers of scholarship with the researchers and institutions in other countries,
04:09allowing knowledge, collections and academic expertise to circulate beyond national borders.
04:16There is nobody who can change the world because changing the world means that you change other people.
04:24But what here happens is that it is an exchange of wisdom, an exchange of science and getting more conscious
04:33of problems.
04:35And if this information will spread from countries to countries, of course, it can change things.
04:44Organizers say the participating institutions will now continue their work through joint research and academic exchanges.
