EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich history of Islamic education in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Circa 1910, in the heart of the ancient city, students are seen intently listening to their teacher in the open courtyard of the Registan Madrasa. The Registan Madrasa, a stunning architectural masterpiece located in the historic Registan Square, has been a beacon of learning for centuries. The students, dressed in traditional Uzbek attire, including turbans, sit cross-legged on the ground, absorbing every word from their teacher. The courtyard, with its intricate tile work and open design, provides a public space for learning, allowing the community to gather and engage in the pursuit of knowledge. Islamic education, a cornerstone of Muslim culture, has a long and storied history in Central Asia. The madrasas, or Islamic religious schools, played a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge, particularly in the areas of theology, law, mathematics, and science. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of education in the daily lives of the people of Samarkand. The Registan Madrasa, with its stunning architecture and rich history, continues to draw visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Islamic education and the importance of knowledge and learning in shaping the course of history.
