Jakhongir Nomozov:
Ms. Khuraman, your life and professional journey serve as an example for many. Before starting our conversation, we’d like to ask about your sources of inspiration — the factors that motivate you and continually encourage you to engage in acts of goodwill.
Khuraman Muradova:
My sources of inspiration are not grand or complicated concepts. Sometimes it is the gratitude I see in a person’s eyes, sometimes a silent prayer, and sometimes a painful memory carried through life that gives me strength. Life has taught me that what truly sustains a person is not success alone, but works done with conscience. The upbringing I received from my family, the losses I have endured, the sense of the word bestowed upon my soul by the Creator, and the need to be useful to people — these are the forces that move me forward.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
As a businesswoman you earned a respected place in society. What approaches do you apply to inspire and support women in professional and social environments?
Khuraman Muradova:
I believe in inspiring women not through slogans, but through example.
When a woman stands firmly on her own feet while preserving both her elegance and strength, she already sends a powerful message to society.
Trusting women, listening to their voices, involving them in decision-making processes, and most importantly, accepting them as they are — these are my core principles. When a woman feels supported, she blossoms.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
So, what are the main principles that led you to success both in business and creativity?
Khuraman Muradova:
Integrity, patience, and love. I never sought after short-cuts to success at the expense of my conscience. Whether in business or creativity, I firmly believe this: if your path is honest, your destination will eventually find you.
________________
In entrepreneurship, you touch people’s health and lives; and in literature, you touch their souls. In both fields, wrong decisions can cause harm, while sincere and thoughtful approaches can heal.

Jakhongir Nomozov:
What life lessons would you like to share with young people and talented creative individuals?
Khuraman Muradova:
Never abandon yourself. Living according to others’ expectations empties a person from within. Don’t fear mistakes, but fear losing your principles — because you can re-achieve your success, but conscience doesn’t.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
Through your creative work, what spiritual and moral messages do you aim to convey to people?
Khuraman Muradova:
Well, I want people not to forget their souls. So through my words, I wish to remind them that compassion still exists, honesty still matters, and love can still save humanity. Hence, my creativity is a path of returning to one’s true self.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
In your opinion, what common ground exists between entrepreneurship and literature?
Khuraman Muradova:
No doubt, it is responsibility. In entrepreneurship, you touch people’s health and lives; and in literature, you touch their souls. In both fields, wrong decisions can cause harm, while sincere and thoughtful approaches can heal.

Jakhongir Nomozov:
What does the concept of “creativity” mean to you? Is it limited only to art and literature, or does it manifest in all areas of life?
Khuraman Muradova:
Creativity is not only about writing poetry. Doing honest work, easing someone’s pain, or solving a problem through unconventional thinking is also creativity. It is a state of mind that reveals itself in every sphere of life.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
How did your charitable and humanitarian activities during the Patriotic War shape you as a person?
Khuraman Muradova:
That period was a true test of one’s character — not through words, but through actions. Looking into the eyes of mothers of martyrs and feeling the pain of wounded veterans taught me that love for the homeland is measured not on platforms, but through silent service.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
In your view, what shapes the human soul more deeply — hardships, success, or other life experiences?
Khuraman Muradova:
Hardships. Success brings joy, but hardships bring depth. A person cannot mature without passing through pain.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
What place do the concepts of “Motherland, people, and humanity” occupy in your life philosophy?
Khuraman Muradova:
These are the three pillars of my life. The Motherland is our root, the people are our spirit, and humanity is the highest value that illuminates our path.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
You received numerous international awards and honorary titles. What do recognition and awards mean to you personally and socially?
Khuraman Muradova:
Awards are responsibility. They remind me that I must work harder and serve more. When your efforts are recognized, it means you are obliged to give even more back to society.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
It is often said: if we cannot reach a person’s heart, we cannot truly benefit them. How do you view this idea?

For me, creativity is a journey that continues as long as life itself.

Khuraman Muradova:
I completely agree. Without touching the heart, no form of help is complete. A person wants to be understood before they can be healed.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
Through Milan Hospital, you have provided care and hope to countless people. What strength and motivation do acts of kindness give you?
Khuraman Muradova:
Strength, absolutely. When the more I help others, the stronger I become. Kindness does not exhaust a person. On the contrary, it enriches and renews them.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
What is the main source of your desire to help people and serve society. Whether nature, family, or personal life experiences?
Khuraman Muradova:
The upbringing I received from my family and endured trials of life. A person who knows the suffering cannot remain indifferent.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
When facing difficulties or failures, what approaches help you recover spiritually?
Khuraman Muradova:
Silence. Prayer. Poetry. Sometimes, silence itself is the greatest form of healing.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
How would you describe the differences and similarities between medicine and creativity?
Khuraman Muradova:
Both provide healing. One heals the body, the other heals the soul. And both demand conscience.
Jakhongir Nomozov:
In which new directions do you plan to develop your creative work in the future?
Khuraman Muradova:
I intend to continue projects that reflect the shared spirit of the Turkic world. And to amplify the voices of women writers on a broader international platform. And to build cultural bridges through words. For me, creativity is a journey that continues as long as life itself.
