ALISHER NAVOI'S "NASOYIMU-L-MUHABBAT" TALEK AS A LITERARY WORK
Abstract
This article examines Alisher Navoi’s Nasoyim ul-Muhabbat as a literary work, highlighting its role in the preservation and dissemination of Sufi knowledge. Navoi’s tazkira draws upon the works of prominent Sufi figures, including Junayd al-Baghdadi, Mansur Hallaj, Shaykh Farid al-Din Attar, Shaykh Sa‘di Shirazi, and others. Through vivid poetic expressions, symbolic narratives, and citations of classical Sufi texts, the work reflects spiritual truths, divine mysteries, and the stages of spiritual perfection. This study emphasizes Navoi’s literary artistry, his method of illustrating complex spiritual concepts, and the enduring impact of his tazkira in enriching the intellectual and moral understanding of readers.
