Abstract: This article enquires into the educational strategies aimed at enriching the spiritual development of young

individuals by exploring the history and cultural heritage of their locality. Focusing on Nurata, it offers

insights into how students are engaged in understanding the historical trajectory and artistic expressions

unique to the region. By immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of Nurata's past and its distinctive artistic

creativity, students not only gain a deeper appreciation for their cultural identity but also cultivate a sense of

belonging and reverence towards their heritage. The article highlights the importance of integrating local

history and cultural studies into educational curricula, highlighting how such initiatives contribute to nurturing

a holistic understanding of one's surroundings and fostering a profound connection to one's roots. Ultimately,

it advocates for the holistic development of young minds by harnessing the spiritual potential inherent in the

exploration of local history and culture.

1 INTRODUCTION

Today, the knowledge and skills acquired by young

students should have a certain basis. Because only a

person who has a good understanding of the causes

and consequences of each acquired knowledge will be

able to organize his activities in a systematic way.

The knowledge and skills of a person who has

conducted systematic activities and studied the types

of activities well will be perfect. “O son! Do not stop

working on any subject until you have mastered it,

one knowledge will help you master another. If your

mind allowed you to acquire some knowledge, don't

leave it half-heartedly without mastering it to the end!

However, a person requires profit and craft. There are

many professions, it is impossible to interpret each

one differently and the words are long. The quality of

knowledge is of three types: either knowledge related

to a profession; profession related to science; a

custom related to blessings and signs”. In addition to

the acquired theoretical knowledge, it is important to

know the history and culture of the homeland and the

place of birth, especially in the formation of moral

and moral qualities of today's youth, especially

students.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

There are many cultural and historical shrines in

Navoi region. In this regard, the history and culture of

Nurota is one of the cultural centres of special

importance. Information about the history of existing

steps and who founded them is reflected in the

sources. Studying, understanding, viewing these

sources requires deep knowledge of each student. It is

desirable that the opinions of a spiritually mature

person should be in tune with the times.

In addition, great attention is paid to the

development of tourism in our Republic. During his

visit to Navoi region in 2017, the President of the

Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, gave

instructions on the expansion and beautification of the

surroundings of the "Chashma" shrine in the Nurota

district, as well as the construction of a modern hotel

for tourists (Umrzakov et al., 2015), which is a proof

of Nurota's ancient and rich history.

The greatness of Nurota is directly and indirectly

due to Chashma and the luminous shrines of the

saints. Also, in the treatise "Nurata Chashmasi" by

Safar Umrzakov and Adil Umrzakov, intellectual

creators from Nurota, they quote the following:

"Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may God bless him and grant

him peace) may have said that the Messenger of God

(peace be upon him) said: "On the night of Mi'raj, I

reached the fourth heaven, I saw a Koshk, it is

between, surrounded by light chandeliers. I asked:

"God! What kind of light is this?” It was said: "This

place belongs to your ummah, it is under the sky of

the world, it is on the land of Movaroonnahr." It is

called the "City of Light".

Hazrat Rasulullah (peace be upon him) asked:

"Who built this province?" Gabriel, peace be upon

him, said: "Iskander Zul-Qarnain built the building."

It was like this that Iskandar Zul-Qarnayn came to

visit the light, he saw a very beautiful place, and a

light was emanating from it to the sky. This place was

the place of fairies.

He said: "... This place is the place of believers." I

have a spring there; the water is clear and smooth. At

present, the stone in the water in the middle of the

Fountain of Light was probably installed by Iskandar

Dhul-Qarnayn with his blessed hands. Whoever rubs

his stomach on a stone, may the Almighty heal his

pain, and (by Allah) may this person be saved from

seventy thousand calamities."

The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah!

You never mentioned this quality about Makkah!?”

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah

be upon him) said: "Ul Noor took the province to the

fourth heaven and I prayed two rak'ats on this Noor. I

learned about the virtues of this place yesterday."

Iskandar Zul-Qarnayn saw the light and named the

place Nur. God bless you!".

It is necessary to study the knowledge about such

a blessed place and introduce it to our compatriots and

tourists visiting from abroad. Showing the ancient

history of Nurotani by the students, but also the good

study and knowledge of the information related to

each person's area, also shows the spiritual potential

of the people.

Since most of the information about the Nurota

oasis in the sources is of a general nature, it is difficult

to say exactly the exact age and period of formation

of the area. Nurota's writer Suyunduk Mustafa

Nurotai comments on this matter as follows: "There

are no clear scientific conclusions about the historical

age of Nurota's history, and although no extensive

work has been carried out on it so far, the cultural

layer is said to exist around 3500 years. In 1954,

1968, and 1974, this point of view was put forward in

the research conducted by archaeologists V.A.Nilson,

O.M.Rostovtsev and academician Y.G.Ghulomov

and in the conclusions of the field scientist B.Orokov.

The castle is attributed to the conqueror

Alexander the Great who made a military campaign

to Central Asia in 329 BC. Legends about the

Macedonian Alexander the Great became popular

from the past, and the creation of the city, irrigation

systems (koriz) are also connected with his name. In

this regard, Candidate of History Bobur Aminov said,

"Among the inhabitants of Nurota, there are many

stories related to Alexander the Great's campaigns.

"We do not have accurate information about his

conquest of Nurota and his settlement in this area," he

wrote.

3 METHODOLOGY

If we dig deeper into the history of the past, Nurota

was not left out of any of the important realities of the

modern world: the Persian Ahmon dynasty (535-330

BC), Alexander the Great (Alexander the

Macedonian 329-323 BC), the Seleucids (312-250

BC), Greco-Bactrian and Parthian rulers (from 250

BC), Kushon kingdom (I-V centuries AD),

Hephthalites (V-VI centuries), Turkish khans (VI-VII

centuries), Arabs (from VIII century), Tahirids (IX

century), Somanites (IX-X centuries.), from 892),

Karakhanids (X-XII centuries, from 999), Karakhitas

(XII century), Khorezmshahs (XIII century),

Chingizids (from 1220 of the XIII century), Timurids

(from 1369-70 of the XIV century), Shaibani (1500

from), Ashtarkhanids (XVIII century), Mangits (from

1753), Russians (from 1920) rule, politics and

ideology left their traces (Nurota et al., 2015).

Because the knowledge that the social life during the

reigning kingdoms influenced people's lifestyle,

culture, and spirituality, as well as customs, helps to

study the influence on the formation of culture in the

past of the people.

Students' awareness of Nurota's research will help

them learn and introduce social-cultural aspects of

Nurota. In addition, the role of poetry and fiction from

the 19th century to today, which is a part of the history

of Nurota culture, is incomparable. The shrines that

have existed in Nurota since ancient times, and the

legends associated with them, created a great basis for

the formation of the cultural environment of the

Nurota oasis.

As an integral part of this cultural environment,

the creators of Nurota can be pointed out. The reason

we pay attention to creativity is that poets and writers

skillfully introduce Nurota's past and future, history

and culture, shrines, and springs through their works.

As students familiarize themselves with the works

of the above authors, their knowledge about Nurota

will expand. It is natural that the guests and tourists

who visited Nurota are interested in forming their

imaginations about Nurota. Especially, the person

who gets acquainted with the stories about Nurota

will be interested. In particular, "from May 24 to June

1, 2004, the people of Nurota and hundreds of

pilgrims directly witnessed a strange sight: from

seven o'clock in the morning (from the end of the

morning prayer) to nine o'clock, they observed with

their own eyes that light from the blue rained on the

spring without any means. The reality was recorded

and aired on regional and district TV channels.

Regardless of how this scene made an impression on

anyone, it was, in fact, a recurring reminder of the

reality of "light" for the thinking people every few

years. It was an expression of great sanctity. [6, 8

pages] The students explained such a miracle and

used all their abilities to see the divine pilgrimage of

Nurota, the healing "fountain" water, which God's

eyes fell on, "located 524 meters above sea level. It is

19.5 degrees Celsius in all four seasons. 360-400

liters of water per second boils out from underground.

Its composition is rich in various microelements,

and it has been proven that it is saturated with thirteen

types of minerals". For this, not only students, but

also ordinary people should be aware of the

knowledge of their history and culture, or the

information reflected in the works of Nurota writers.

4 CONCLUSIONS

So, when we talk about the history and cultural wealth

of Nurota, we should not forget that it includes

artistic, scientific and popular works created in this

area. Every person should know the history of his

region, understand the truth behind the myths and

legends about it. In my opinion, today only special

people are studying, and young people are paying

attention to the knowledge about their past and

history. Undoubtedly, the goal of attracting more

young people to the work in this regard is that these

works should be at least partially covered in the

history of the Institute's history and philology

departments, mostly in all faculties. After all, young

teachers from Bolchi should know the history of their

homeland as well as the history of the region around

them.

Our state encourages young people with all-round

intellectual potential, to know our history as a

generation, to always learn from our past and to be a

generation worthy of it. That's why we considered it

permissible to emphasize that every person should

learn about the history of Nurota and its shrines, not

only citizens of Nurota, but also citizens of this

country.
