Abstract
<em>The great work being done on the international description of the scholars of our country, the study of their rich scientific heritage, enriches the spiritual world of our people, especially the younger generation, and also reflects our great past. It has served for a deeper understanding and wider recognition of invaluable spiritual property worldwide. One of such educational and moral works was written by Mahmudhoja Behbudi. This article deals with Mahmudkhoja Behbudi's struggle for knowledge and enlightenment, his speeches in the press, and his labor activity. Moreover, as the leader of the ideas of Jadidism as a national liberation movement, Mahmudhoja Behbudi was able to restore the spiritual ties of the Turanian people with the Turkic peoples in the early twentieth century. It also briefly dwells on the meanings of the words jadid and jadidism.</em>
