Literary personality and creativity of Alisher Navoi

Abstract

The great thinker Amir Alisher Navoi still lives in literature, literary history, linguistics, religion, history, geography, philosophy, theology, sufism. He has a special place among the world classics with his immortal works of lyrical-romantic, realisthistorical, literary-artistic, philosophical-cognitive and scientific-theoretical significance. He wrote all his works in Turkish under the general title “Khazainul-maani”, “Khamsa”, 21 scientific-philological and religious-mystical works, including “Divani-Fani”. At the same time, it should be noted that the names of all works of Alisher Navoi consist of Arabic words. We can evaluate this issue as a traditional case (including “Divani-Fani”) in the history of medieval Eastern-Muslim literature under the influence of Islam. The great uzbek poet, linguist, literary critic, calligrapher, composer, statesman Amir Alisher Navoi, with his creative power, bravely overcame a historical barrier and opened a new path in the history of literature as a revolutionary of the Turkish literary language: he raised the Turkish literary language. He wrote “Khamsa” in Turkish for the first time under the influence of genius Nizami's “Khamsa”, whom he called a master in all his works. Throughout his career, the genius artist has written 32 works, including 16 prose and 16 poetry. Alisher Navoi wrote his works in Persian under the pseudonym “Fani”. He composed a divan called “Divani-Fani” consisting of lyrical works written in Persian - ghazal, qasida, muhammas, musaddas, tuyugs.

Thus, after a systematic review of Navoi's legacy, we can systematize his fictionliterary-scientific heritage in four groups: 1. “Khazainul-maani” divan (this work includes four divans of the poet); 2. “Khamsa” (five poems); 3. Works written in Persian, collected in the collection “Divani-Fani”; 4. Scientific-philological, religious-mystical and historical works (21 works). Among the rich works of Alisher Navoi, scientific-philological and religious-mystical works written in Turkish have a special place. In these works, perfect historical scientific-theoretical problems are written around such issues as literary criticism, linguistics, eruz science, commentary, history, Islamic doctrines, and sufism. All the works on the biography and personality of Alisher Navoi, or these works are memoirs.
