CENTERS OF ENLIGHTENMENT DURING THE KHIVA KHANATE

During the reign of the Khiva Khanate, there were many madrasahs in Khiva, one of the largest and most famous of which was the madrasah built by the Khiva Khan Muhammad Rahimkhan. The founder of the madrasah, Muhammad Rahimkhan II, was an enlightened ruler and wrote poems under the pseudonym "Feruz". The khan became famous as an enlightened ruler who patronized science and poets. During the heyday of the khanate, Muhammad Rahimkhan carried out a lot of work on the improvement of cities, various political and economic reforms, but the most important were reforms in the field of education. All this led to the opening of several new schools in Khiva with new teaching methods - not only traditional religious subjects were taught, but also secular ones: mathematics, literature, astronomy, geography. Kamil Khorezmi and other poets wrote several poetic dedications to the date of the construction of the madrasa and palace of this ruler.
