THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE JADIDIST MOVEMENT IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF TURKESTAN

The Jadidist movement in Turkestan is not a coincidence, but a product of socio-political conflicts in our lives. From the beginning of the 19th century, among the enlightened Muslim clergy and intellectuals of Bukhara, the idea of reforming the heresies that had entered the system of madrasas and schools and the Islamic religion began to emerge. Supporters of such reforms began to be called Jadidists, that is, supporters of innovation. Jadidism (derived from the Arabic word "jadid" and meaning "new"). Since those times, the movement that opposed this, that is, people who were in the spirit of feudal-medievalism and religious fanaticism, began to be called Kadimists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as a result of the strengthening of tsarist colonialism in Turkestan, the Jadid movement gained strength in many parts of Central Asia. Since this movement was aimed at rebuilding the socio-cultural foundations of the existing society, it encountered strong resistance from supporters of the old system, the old way of life, and the old school[1].
