They also serve as an excellent factual and practical material for confronting religious radicalism under the new conditions of various threats emergence. The purpose of the article is to show how rich and valuable the heritage of the great scientists of Mawarannahr is and how it can be used not only in the study of the Islamic sciences, but also in fi ghting modern threats, coming as an adequate response to religious extremism. Moreover, their legacy demonstrated the role of the scholars of Mawarannahr at the dawn of Islamic civilization in the formation and development of emerging Islamic sciences. The work relied on both primary sources and secondary research by scientists of the 20th – early 21st centuries.
