• Saudi scholar Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa addresses forum in Tashkent
• 300 speakers from 40 countries will speak at event

LONDON: The secretary-general of the Muslim World League, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa, delivered a televised address at a forum on the values of Islamic civilization in Tashkent on Wednesday.

Speaking at the event, titled “Islamic Civilization: The Path of Peace, Tolerance and Enlightenment,” the Saudi scholar highlighted Uzbekistan’s role in Islamic history, particularly through the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, which stood on the ancient Silk Road and contributed to the exchange of knowledge, science and religious values.

Al-Issa noted the opening of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent in March, Uzbekistan’s largest cultural, scientific and educational complex.

He also mentioned the Memorial Complex of Imam al-Bukhari, near Samarkand, which works to preserve the heritage of the Islamic scholars Imam al-Bukhari and Imam al-Tirmidhi and honors the jurist al-Maturidi, all three of whom were born in Uzbekistan.

Al-Issa said that the projects were revitalizing Islamic, scholarly and cultural heritage.

Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev is patron of the forum, which was organized by the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the Islamic Civilization Center in Tashkent.

About 300 speakers from 40 countries are taking part in the event, which ends on Saturday.

Well, Sir, something is better than nothing. At least we have organizations like Muslims World League and Organization of the Islamic Cooperation.

Pointless and worthless entities. What's the point of having a teapot if it's made of chocolate?

Well, Sir, at least these organizations are good for scoring diplomatic points and victories for soft power I suppose.

I think Pakistan is much better than Uzbekistan. At least we have a powerful military with nuclear weapons.

What does Uzbekistan have? Just the Mausoleum of Imam Bukhari and Imam Tirmidhi.

Spiritual nourishment.

In the real world, the Muslim World League, the IOC, the GCC... these are all pawns in the global game, not players.

I know this is hard for many Pakistani friends to accept. But it's a fact we must face.

Using Chinese game theory to analyze Pakistan, the best approach is to ignore them. Focus all your energy and resources on developing your own country. All other organizations and nations are merely tools, unreliable.

If a country becomes obsessed with any power outside its own borders, it will never develop and will forever remain a pawn in someone else's game.

Bukhara and Samarkand once rivaled Baghdad as the premier centers of learning in the world. The historical contributions that were made there to science, religion, philosophy, and everything else in between continue to serve all of humanity immensely.

Human knowledge is an iterative process, there is no "by today's standards" because today's standards are built upon yesterday's standards. There would be no modern medicine if the libraries of Bukhara had not enabled Ibn-e-Sina to lay the basis of it in his 'Al-Qanun fil Tib' aka 'The Canon of Medicine'.
