Abstract

This article analyzes the harmony between the concepts of religion and progress in the views of Mahmudxo‘ja Behbudiy. As one of the prominent representatives of the Jadid movement, Behbudiy emphasized the importance of knowledge, enlightenment, and modern education in the development of society while maintaining strong religious values. The article examines his works, journalistic activities, and social ideas to reveal the role of religion in social development and its relationship with science and education. It also analyzes Behbudiy’s enlightenment ideas aimed at achieving renewal, cultural advancement, and social progress within Muslim society. The study concludes that in Behbudiy’s worldview, religion and progress are not contradictory concepts but complementary factors that contribute to the development of society.
