At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, a new stage of political, social and cultural relations began between the Ottoman Empire and the peoples of Central Asia. The Ottoman Sultan, as the caliph of the Islamic world and a supporter of Islam, always supported the Turkic-Muslim peoples of Central Asia. One of the closest ties between peoples was cultural and spiritual relations, and an important role in this area was played by the Muslim pilgrimage - the Hajj. The Central Asian Muslims who made the pilgrimage stayed in the territories of the Ottoman Empire for a long time in order to deeply study the Muslim culture and Islamic teachings. Back in the country, they used their materials to develop Muslim culture and spiritual knowledge and provide religious education. The article discusses the role of the Muslim pilgrimage in the development of cultural and spiritual ties between the Ottoman Empire and the Turkic-Muslim peoples of Central Asia. The topic of the scientific article reflects a certain aspect of the problem - this means the role and contribution of the Muslim pilgrimage in cultural and spiritual ties among Muslim peoples.
