The role of Islamic tolerance in ensuring socio-political stability in Uzbekistan

Abstract

According to the author, it is known from the history of mankind that rational relationships between members of society are necessary for the well-being of people, the  development of society. In order to maintain a stable state of society, the power structures of the state play a significant role, but spiritual factors, including religion, play a significant role in this process. But not in all countries of the Muslim world, especially in the Arab states, the tolerant quality of Islam is applied in interethnic and interfaith relations. Although, as  many believe, the Qur’an is sent down in Arabic, the hadiths are also in that language. However, people who speak Arabic do not fully comply with Islam’s demands for tolerance towards non-Arabic speakers in everyday and public life. The article substantiates these conclusions with examples from the public life of Middle Eastern countries. Based on the results of comparative analysis, the author concludes that in Uzbekistan, among the spiritual factors that served as the basis for ensuring and strengthening socio-political stability, the importance of Islam and its principle of tolerance are manifested at a special level. In theoretical and practical aspects the role of the principle of Islamic tolerance as  a  factor in ensuring and  strengthening socio-political stability of Uzbekistan is investigated.
