He repeatedly stressed the need to develop science to save the country from decline and the people from a difficult situation. He also believes that development is impossible without the renewal of society and the development of science. While the thinker pays special attention to the development of science and its role in the life of society, he argues that in an uneducated society, arbitrariness, oppression, injustice, ignorance, and violence prevail. In particular, Fitrat says in his book, “ The Leader of Salvation ” , “ There is so much knowledge in the world that a person should study more of what he needs and necessary ” [1.37]. Discussion In Turkestan and Bukhara, for example, fanatical clerics have removed secular knowledge from madrassas' curricula, calling it “ kufr ”, claiming that their illegal actions are contrary to the Koran and the hadiths. Throughout one's life, one is forced to engage in religious and secular labor activities, mainly secular activities such as eating, dressing, building a house, starting a family, having children, raising them, and arranging one ’ s household. In order to do this, every boy and girl who has grown up must have a certain profession, work, and, above all, a thorough knowledge of science. Because not all worldly work can be done by one person, people do it together, in unity, in cooperation, - writes Fitrat in his work “ Family ” . Also, some of the work of the world is done by women, others are taken by men. With the work done on the street, mostly men are engaged, a part of work and duties, household chores are women's responsibility [2.303]. He argues that as much as men are responsible for doing some of the worldly work, so much is it for women to do some of the work. There should be no difference at all between men and women in the performance of worldly affairs, they should have equal rights and responsibilities. According to the scholar, in the rulings of the Qur'an, men and women are not separated, but all are united under the slogan “ ayuhallazin ” and ABSTRACT The national legal heritage is the unique wealth of the Uzbek nation. This scientific wealth is deeply reflected in the works and ideas of our great thinkers and ancestors. In particular, Abdurauf Abdurahim oglu Fitrat is a well-known statesman and public figure who has made a significant contribution to the enrichment of the socio-political and legal thinking of the Uzbek people. He expressed valuable views on the right to education and its provision, which is necessary for the spiritual and cultural development of man.
