A lot of work was done by Turkestan fighters to
achieve this goal. Along with the historical
conditions, the emergence of the Jadidism movement
in Turkestan was greatly influenced by the views of
the Enlightenment, enlightened in the last quarter of
the 19th century.
Analysing Turkestan's socio-political and
cultural life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
reveals that national-patriotic and democratic
movements were shaped by enlightenment ideology.
The idea of enlightenment originated in our country
primarily because of three factors:
The national liberation movements that
emerged as a result of the Russian colonial
policy.
The invasion's suppression of democratic
movements from the West.
The nationalists' selfless actions, which
resulted in severe persecution and even the
beginning of executions.
On the one hand, the representatives of the modernist
movement included in their ideology of
enlightenment the democratic ideas that were relevant
for that time: studying science, enjoying the
achievements of science and technology, developing
scientific and natural sciences, speech, and
introduction of freedom of thought, creation of
national statehood based on the construction of a
democratic state, formation of a layer of national
ideas, development of modern genres of literature and
art, on the other hand, the Turkish language and
national culture, which are losing their national image
under the influence of colonialism they are based on
such ideas as restoration of values, further
strengthening of national spiritual and moral
improvements, the realization of national identity,
strengthening of national consciousness, national
thinking and religious beliefs. Of course, in the
implementation of these tasks, the traditional religion
of Islam, the foundations of Sharia, and hadiths also
rely on the teachings that retain their influence.
Jadidists tried to implement their progressive ideas by
developing a national printing press, introducing a
modern education system, and sending local youth to
study in advanced Western countries. In the early
stages of the Turkestan Enlightenment, moral ideas
were mainly reflected in artistic and didactic forms.
In this regard, the work "Navodir ul-vaqae" by
Ahmad Donish (1827 - 1897), a thinker of the Uzbek
and Tajik peoples, is noteworthy. In his works,
Ahmed Donish compares the state system of the
Bukhara Emirate with the Russian state system and
emphasizes the need to reform it. At the same time,
while thinking with traditional moral concepts, he
considers justice as a characteristic of both the king -
the ruler and the state system. If the ruler conducts a
fair policy, takes justice as a criterion for all spheres
of the country's life, and opens the way for the
flourishing of art, the people's life will be prosperous,
virtues will be strengthened, and vices will be
weakened. He concludes that the ruler must have the
virtue of wisdom, the essence of the state is
determined by reason: only the inhabitants of a
rationally governed country can be enlightened and
have high morals. They have done great things to
raise the nation's maturity and prevent its dignity from
hitting the ground – Bobonazarov (2021).
Despite extreme material hardships as well as
ideological and political pressures, enlightened
modernists attempted to provide possibilities for the
nation's spiritual development. They started all of this
work because they understood that among the most
important jobs during these difficult and crucial
turning points in history are elevating the nation's
consciousness and bolstering its sense of pride.
Behbudi, Fitrat, Munavvarqori, and other fervent
Jadids demonstrated their love for the country by
founding schools, staffing them, penning and
releasing textbooks, and more. On this trip, they didn't
even save money. Such good deeds, like kindness and
generosity, are vital to our autonomous growth as we
know it now. Abdulla Avloni's ideas about education
became an important practical wing of Jadidism. it is
necessary to start education from the day of birth, to
strengthen our bodies, enlighten our thoughts,
beautify our morals, and clarify our minds. Who does
education? The question arises, " Where is it done?"
This is a mother's duty. The second is school and
madrasa education. This is the duty of the father,
teacher, tutor, and the government." When we
answer, one person says, "Which mothers are you
talking about, uneducated mothers, have a fluffy
head, and are mothers who have a fistful of hands?
They carry out a good education in themselves," he
says. Here, this word breaks a person's heart and
burns his heart. What do you say to his father? Are
you talking about those fathers who do not know
about the times, who do not know about the times,
who play the weddings, parties, drummers,
trumpeters, trumpeters? First of all, it is necessary to
educate and train them," he says. After hearing this
word, the hands of hope hit the armpits.
Well, if not, what about the teacher, "Which
teacher? Do you mean the teachers whose goal is
money, and fame, who did not study in higher
schools, did not see "methodical education"? First,
they should study at "Darulmuallimin" themselves,
