The material emphasizes that the Center is ushering in a new era in the fields of education and preservation of the country's historical heritage, and is already being regarded today as one of the grandest cultural projects of the New Uzbekistan. Highlighting the capital's special place, the authors refer to Tashkent as a crossroads of eras:

"At the crossroads of ancient history and modernity, the capital of Uzbekistan — Tashkent — has completed the implementation of a project that has entered the ranks of the largest cultural initiatives of New Uzbekistan."

Special emphasis is placed in the article on the activities being carried out to repatriate national cultural heritage. As President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has emphasized several times, the true power of a nation is embodied in its memory and cultural roots. It is noted that for this reason, work has begun on returning unique artifacts to the Homeland and enriching museum collections with genuine national heritage. 

The Center of Islamic Civilization is presented not as a simple museum complex, but as a large-scale educational and cultural mega-project dedicated to understanding the place of Islamic heritage in world history and integrating it into the future.

It is also separately noted that the idea of establishing the Center was first put forward in 2017 by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and it is emphasized that it is intended to serve the formation of a new cultural and educational code not only for the country but also for regions beyond Central Asia.

Special attention is also paid to the complex's architecture. The article separately notes the symbolic meaning of the 65-meter dome and the four grand portals expressing the unity of the country's territories. The hall of the Holy Quran is mentioned as a central space, where the 7th-century Uthman Quran manuscript, inscribed in UNESCO's "Memory of the World" Register, is kept.

The authors elaborate in detail on the concept of the Center's exposition, emphasizing the following:

 "Archaeology, art, and technologies harmonize into a single flow through digital projections, light, sound, and interactive solutions." 

The educational scope of the project is also separately noted: a library designed for 200,000 books, a calligraphy school, restoration laboratories, and the "1001 Inventions" museum-laboratory intended for children and youth. 

The international significance of the Center is recognized with the following words by UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay:

 "I hope this luminous Center becomes a beacon for the whole world. It is a true crossroads of civilizations — a witness to cultural diversity, tolerance, openness, and Uzbekistan's place in the progress of humanity!"
