THE FACTORS OF WISE USE OF RELIGIOUS VALUES IN PROVIDING SPIRITUAL LIFE

Abstract

This article analyzes the philosophical aspect of the significant importance of religion and religious values as integral parts of spiritual life in every society. In our opinion, the discussion of religious matters in society requires an objective, scientific, philosophical, and methodological approach rather than an atheistic approach that lacks self-reflection, which was prevalent in the recent past. In the new stage of Uzbekistan's development, one of the essential conditions for shaping social relations based on genuine humanism is the establishment of a single consensus regarding the primary historical mission of religious and secular believers in fulfilling this task. In essence, Islam is built upon ensuring a humane, progressive, just, and spiritually enriched life. Within the spiritual life of society, religious factors acquire significant importance, alongside social, economic, political, cultural, and ecological dimensions. From this perspective, religious factors have been an integral part of social processes since ancient times. The cultural development of various nations and civilizations cannot be imagined without the influence of religious factors. Religion, due to its solid socio-spiritual foundations, will always remain relevant. However, societal changes do not exclude religion. Old ideas are replaced by new approaches, and the practical implementation of religion is observed with new interpretations. In conclusion, the issue of the relationship between secularism and religiousness has been of significant importance throughout human history. This interplay between the two fundamental components of human life determines the current situation and future direction of any society. Therefore, the utilization of Islamic religious values is considered an indispensable necessity in providing the spiritual life of society.
