A WOMAN STRIVING FOR HER DREAMS
Woman. How subtle and capable of great deeds in His place. Flowers bloom on the paths a woman walks. Wherever a woman goes, it becomes a garden.
The person I want to tell you today is also about a woman who brought happiness and joy to her own life and the lives of those around her, possessing great courage in her small frame…
Dilbar Ashilbayeva was born in 1995 in the capital, Nukus. Life subjected him to trials from birth. However, Dilbar, who has been interested in science and professions since childhood, graduated from school with good grades and also mastered the sewing profession perfectly. He graduated from Karakalpak State University with a degree in Karakalpak language and literature. Dilbar also loves sports. Recently, she took an honorable 2nd place in the Para Badminton Olympiad held in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Currently, he is conducting another training on the development of the teacher’s activity.
Relatives – her mother-in-law Chaman Komilova, her husband Aymurat Allamuratov, and all other family members have a very warm opinion about Dilbar, who, as fate would have it, became a bride in the “Kaltaminor” village citizens’ assembly of Turtkul district. “Thank her parents for raising such a girl,” says her mother-in-law, Chaman-opa.
Speaking about his daughter-in-law’s qualities, he spoke with particular pride and emotion about her craftsmanship, diligence, and aspiration. I was frightened. After all, our cow is a bit reckless. “I said I’ll buy you a gentle cow, and then you can freely milk the cow,” the mother says sincerely and lovingly.
By fate’s decree, my son couldn’t walk after finishing his studies. We took him to many places, but there was no result. But even though my son sits at home, he’s always in motion, He knows several languages. He is very interested in chess, checkers, and computer science. After we united the youth, thanks to the opportunities created by our state for people with disabilities, my son also entered Karakalpak State University with his knowledge. Currently, he is in his 2nd year. But he doesn’t sit quietly at home. He doesn’t like sitting idle. He bought a black-and-white and color printer on credit and has been contributing to the family by producing the necessary paper. He also aims to educate children at school.
Of course, today, having talked with the families of these educators, seeing their interest in life, love and appreciation for life, mutual respect and attention, having talked with such sincere people, we witnessed how much strength, patience, and courage they have.
The director of School No. 10, where Dilbar Ashilbayeva works, and the deputy of the Jokargy Kenes of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Sayat Gichgeldiyeva, also expressed their warm opinions on this matter.
In our holy religion, acquiring knowledge is considered an obligation for every Muslim, both women and men. Why specifically for women? Because in the family, the upbringing, morality, and knowledge of a child largely depends on the mother. It is precisely intelligent, conscious mothers who raise a comprehensively capable, educated generation. In the development of such great figures as our great ancestors – Amir Temur, Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, Alisher Navoi, Abu Nasr Al-Farabi, Abu Ali ibn Sino, there was a place and prayers for book-loving, enlightened mothers.
Unfortunately, in our recent history, in particular, during the last khanates, not enough attention was paid to women’s education. In some cases, there were even periods when they were strictly forbidden to study. But Uzbek women, whose blood reflected the spirit of courageous women like Tomaris, Bibikhanim, Nodirabegim, and Uvaysi, fought for education, to find their place in society, and to liberate their homeland from colonialism. They worked resolutely towards their dreams, despite all obstacles.
There have been many such heroes in our history. The Jadid movement was especially widespread in Bukhara. In the 1929s, many young people were sent to study in Germany and Turkey under the leadership of our Jadid grandfather Abdurauf Fitrat. Among them were future doctors like 17-year-old Khayriniso Majidkhanova and scientists like Maryam Sultanmurodova. They aimed to serve the country with science for the prosperity of the homeland. Because the foundation of any society that dreamed of independence was science and the experience of developed countries.
Unfortunately, the former Soviet Union did not allow this. They were afraid of the people who recognized their rights and fought for freedom. In 1938, along with intellectuals such as Fitrat, Abdulla Qodiriy, and Chulpon, young girls with lofty dreams were also shot. However, this tragedy did not make the girls who wanted to get an education give up their dreams or scare them. On the contrary, it strengthened their determination, perseverance, and thirst for enlightenment.

The breath of the Keukenhof tulip garden is divine
A treasure trove of man-made nature masterpieces.
Rows like rainbow lines in a tulip garden
Attracting the attention of sightseers
Wonder and magic lie there
A glimpse of paradise on earth
In this sanctuary, the heart finds peace.
A place surrounded by trees and flowers
Beautifully connected by sunshine
Windmill in the middle of the garden
Truly looks like a picturesque design
Let’s get lost in the beauty of the Keukenhof Tulip Garden.
