This paper presents a comparative legal analysis of the institution of family mediation in Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt within the context of the traditions of Islamic diplomacy. The author explores the theoretical connection between modern mediation procedures and the fundamental categories of Islamic law: al-sulh (reconciliation), islah (rectification/reform), tahkim (arbitration), and wasata (mediation). Special attention is paid to a critical evaluation of the experience of Uzbekistan, where the institutionalization of mediation within the mahalla system faces challenges of formalism and a deficit of professional competencies. The author formulates practical recommendations for improving national legislation, including the allocation of a dedicated professional staff of mediators within citizens' self-government bodies and the strengthening of legal guarantees for socially vulnerable dispute participants.
