This article concerns the implementation of the Arabic language in Uzbek society particularly in the area of Bukhara. Nowadays the importance of learning this language is a significant part of the Islamic religion. The introduction of Arabic language teaching in Bukhara reflects a historical legacy dating back to the 9th century when the city became a hub of Islamic culture and education. Despite facing challenges such as a shortage of qualified teachers and teaching materials, this initiative presents significant opportunities for the local community. The ability to speak Arabic not only preserves and promotes Islamic culture and heritage but also opens up academic and professional avenues in fields like Islamic studies, international relations, and business. Moreover, it can enhance Bukhara's global reputation as a center of Islamic learning, attracting students and scholars worldwide. The positive impact extends to economic and social development, fostering cultural exchange and trade with Arabic-speaking countries
