Jungs of Central Asia - as a Program for Muftis and Qazis (Judges) of the Khanate Era

“…The name of the work is listed as "joyang" at the top of the fihrist of the work. It was moved and completed in "zu al-Qa'da" 1305/1888 [7]. In this collection, as in the autograph copy, pages 331b-345a contain mahdars, examples of narrative documents, stories, several hadiths and prayers.…”

“…In this, the compilers (mufti or a'lam) of Jungs summarized some issues that were considered relevant and important at the time, taking into account the social, economic and cultural conditions of the state and community life of each period, as well as certain historical features of the period. For instance, in some jungs created during the Russian colonial period (For example: during the Russian colonial period, the above-mentioned issues were omitted in the logs compiled in Khiva Khanate) slavery and jihad chapters have been omitted [7]. This shows that by that time such issues had completely lost their importance in the social and political life of the khans under the Russian Empire.…”
