Abstract

This article discusses the role of Samarkand as a centre of Islamic scholarship and cultural exchange in Medieval Uzbekistan. Samarkand stands as an iconic symbol of intellectual prosperity, knowledge dissemination, and cultural exchange in medieval Uzbekistan. The city’s strategic geographical position, distinguished educational institutions, exceptional scholars, and the production of influential texts all contributed to its status as a leading centre of Islamic scholarship. Moreover, the cultural interchange and diverse influences fostered an environment of vibrant intellectual dialogue that shaped medieval Muslim thought. By remembering the pivotal role played by Samarkand, we can further appreciate the rich intellectual heritage it left behind, laying the foundation for modern advancements in Islamic scholarship and cultural exchange.
