00:03The first thing is that Islam is the most important part of the human community.
00:12In the Quran and the Quran, we created a man from a man and a man from a man.
00:17In fact, this is the message of the people from our parents.
00:26Nearly a decade ago, addressing the United Nations General Assembly,
00:31Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed creating a center 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.
00:48More than 450 scholars, religious leaders, researchers and policymakers from over 50 countries
00:55gathered 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,
01:12how it is passed on to future generations,
01:15and why those conversations matter at a time of growing global tensions and religious intolerance.
01:21In 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, and Islamophobia.
01:35The address cited scholars including Al-Hawrezmi, Aburayhan Biruni, Ibn Sina and Mirzolu Bek as evidence of Islamic civilization's contribution
01:44to scientific discovery and intellectual progress.
01:48The forum resulted in the Tashkent Declaration and the Roadmap for 2027-2030 setting out cooperation in research, education, manuscript
01:58preservation, and digital access.
02:00New partnerships were also announced between universities, museums, and research institutions,
02:06covering joint studies, the conservation of historical material, and the digitalization of collections.
02:13I think it was a great idea.
02:16It was probably one or two months ago, but it was a great idea.
02:23It was a great idea of how Islam is represented and understood.
02:23It was a great idea of how Islam is represented and understood.
02:29Behind those agreements was a wider debate about how Islam is represented and understood.
02:34Participants argued that centuries of intellectual and scientific achievements
02:39are often absent from contemporary perceptions of their religion.
02:44It was a great idea.
02:46The President of the Uzbekistan Republic of the Tashkent Declaration of the Islamic Civilization
02:52is a great idea of how Islam and our religion is represented.
03:05That deep aid extended beyond Central Asia.
03:09Speakers examined Islam's historical presence in Europe
03:13and challenged the idea that it developed separately 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
03:51and plans for an innovation regime dedicated to his work.
03:55Intermea's sessions focused on Imam Al-Tirmidi 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.
04:54Organizers say both aspects and agencies without hearing fromél Nicolai by Leonzo's домойoured
