It reflects the world's most rare cultural heritage items of global significance and reveals Uzbekistan as one of the most important historical centers of the Islamic world.
It is worth noting that this film was created on the initiative of CNN and is considered an original project of the famous international TV channel. The film was shown five times during the New Year programming. This indicates the great interest and attention paid by the international editorial staff and audience to the topic of the Center of Islamic Civilization and the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan.
An exclusive video was presented before the documentary film screening. It highlighted the original concept of the Center of Islamic Civilization, initiated by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. In the video material, international politicians and public figures highly praised the project, recognizing it as a modern cultural and civilizational space aimed at enlightenment, dialogue, and humanistic values.
The video showcased unique exhibits of the Center of Islamic Civilization, including the legendary Uthman Mus'haf, the keys to the Holy Kaaba, a fragment of the Quran preserved on the pulpit of Amir Timur, as well as other artifacts of global significance that constitute the treasury of Islamic and world cultural heritage. This material was also presented on the Euronews TV channel's broadcast program.
The complex, built on an area of 10 hectares, unites five galleries and reveals Islam as a religion of knowledge and tolerance. The center's exhibitions clearly demonstrate the enormous contribution of the scholars of Mawarannahr to the development of world science and culture.
The international recognition of the center is also confirmed by the cultural and educational project "The Reflection of Enlightenment," implemented with the participation of Oscar award winner Ben Kingsley. This further clearly demonstrates the high status and importance of this initiative.
