biography

Together with Siddiqiy Ajziy, Ibrat was one of the first and oldest representatives of the reform movement. Like Mahmudxoʻja Behbudiy , he came from a well-off family; He received his training from 1878 to 1886 at a medrese in Qo'qon . In his hometown Toʻraqoʻrgʻon he opened a school of the “new method” based on the Jadidist model. Between 1887 and 1892 the polyglot Ibrat traveled on his Hajj to Arabia , Iran , Afghanistan , India and the Chinese Turkestan .

After his return, Ibrat began to write and published his works, including a six-language lexicon and a compendium on the world's writings , through his own publishing house. In 1908 he bought a printing press, which he mainly used to spread the word of jadidism. Between 1908 and 1917 he worked as a qadi in Toʻraqoʻrgʻon .

During the Soviet era he was entrusted with educational assignments. His trace is lost in the turmoil of repression of 1937.

statement

In Mezon uz-zamon ( Mīzān az-Zamān ), a treatise probably written shortly after the October Revolution in 1917, Ibrat speaks of the fact that, in contrast to previously educated people, Muslim society is now leading to progress and improvement. He encouraged the population to deal with modern science, spoke out in favor of the technical innovations that came to Turkestan with the Russians , and called for more schools of the "new method" to be built.
