We all know that today the world is changing rapidly, the dangers threatening the fate and future of humanity are increasing, and cruel competition and various conflicts are escalating on a global scale. In such conditions, paying attention to spirituality and enlightenment is of great importance in maintaining stability. As our President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted: “We consider the work of spirituality and enlightenment to be a work of patriotism, a work of conscience. A person with conscience and spirituality certainly loves the Motherland. Conscience and spirituality mean serving the people, the Motherland wholeheartedly...” Enlightenment is education aimed at raising the consciousness, knowledge, and culture of people. It also means a complex of various knowledge and information about nature, society, and the essence of man. Enlightenment is also used in the sense of science and tradition. The concept of enlightenment is related to the concepts of culture and spirituality. Enlightenment eliminates spiritual dependence, gives strength to a person. It saves people from ignorance, turns them away from corrupt practices, helps them to have good character and manners. A society consisting of enlightened people prospers and has a bright future.
