"The holiday of peace, kindness, and generosity – Eid al-Adha, embodying the noble ideas and deeds inherent in the essence of our holy religion, is becoming even more dear and precious to all of us because it is in harmony and consonance with the meaning and content of our extensive reforms carried out in the spirit of humanism in our country today," the congratulatory message states.

The head of state noted that in recent years, work on studying and promoting Uzbekistan's ancient history and rich cultural heritage, the scientific and educational legacy of great scholars and thinkers, and the true essence of the Islamic religion has risen to a new level. In this regard, the Center for Islamic Civilization in Tashkent, the Imam Bukhari Memorial Complex in Samarkand, and the Burhaniddin Marg'inani Scientific, Educational, and Tourism Complex in Margilan were mentioned as unique landmarks of New Uzbekistan.
