Spiritual pillars of our statehood

In the "New Uzbekistan - the Foundation of a New Renaissance" section of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, there is a unique artistic and philosophical composition - "The Pillars of Statehood." This conceptual ensemble symbolically reflects the historical formation of the idea of the state, the culture of governance, and political thinking in the territory of Uzbekistan. Each column represents a specific period: the evolution of statehood from ancient civilizations to modern independent Uzbekistan is consistently and step-by-step shown.

 

COLUMN 1

 

 

The first column represents the most ancient spiritual layers of the territory of Uzbekistan, the Zoroastrian period, and the teachings of the "Avesta." This period is embodied through carved patterns on stone, images of Buddha statues, and a copy of the "Avesta" located inside a lit display window.

 

 

 

Zoroastrianism promoted the pursuit of human perfection through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. Therefore, this principle is interpreted as the spiritual foundation of statehood. He expresses the idea of goodness through the symbols of light and purity. The famous saying from the Avesta - "Good thought, good word, good deed" - is complete.
