Abstract
This article examines the historical development stages of Sufi schools and tariqas in Uzbekistan. The theoretical foundations of Sufism were established in the ninth to eleventh centuries, followed by the emergence of the Yassaviya and Kubraviya tariqas in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, and the rise of the Naqshbandiya tariqa in the fourteenth to fifteenth centuries as the dominant spiritual movement in Central Asia. The study highlights the doctrinal continuity, mutual influence, and socio-cultural impact of these tariqas on the basis of primary sources. It concludes that Sufi schools remain relevant today, contributing to the moral education of individuals and the strengthening of national and religious values.
