IMAGES OUTSIDE THE EXISTENCE IN “BAHOUDDIN NAKSHBAND OR THE STORY OF THE BURAQ VALLEY”

Аннотация

In order to convincingly and artistically depict the unique, distinctive life path of Sufi saints, creators use various means. In this, special importance is also paid to express their differences from ordinary people. Based on this goal, the writer can use non-existent images. Tolqin Hayit also introduces the image of the Spirit Bird, which is invisible to all people in real life, in his artistic interpretation of the personality of Bahauddin Naqshband in “Bahadin Naqshband or the Story of the Buraq Valley”. This article discusses the role of the Spirit Bird in the content and idea of ​ ​ the work, as well as its importance in illuminating Bahauddin’s innerworld. Keywords:Bahauddin Naqshband, SpiritBird, image, spirit, inner world, existence. In Tolqin Hayit's novel "Bahouddin Naqshband or the Story of the Buraq Valley", there is an active, otherworldly image of the Spirit Bird, which has a special place in the work. To reveal theessence of thisimage, it isfirst necessary toexplainwhat theSpirititselfis. The Quran mentions the soul in verse 29 of Surah Al-Hijr, verse 85 of Surah Al-Isra, and verses 7-8-9 of Surah Al-Sajda. Among them, information is given about the importance of the soul in human life, its creation, and its unique characteristics. In the Quran, the soul is usually seen as a gift from Allah. For example, in theQuran, when Allah creates something, thephrase "I breathed into it My spirit" (Surah Al-Hijr, verse 29) is used. This verse shows the important place of the soulinhuman life. The Quran also contains thoughts on how scholars understand the soul and its uniqueness. The soulis considered tobethe element that separates a person from thebody. The verses of the Holy Quran contain answers to almost all questions that are of interest to humanity. However, in the verses, Allah Almighty reveals that you have been given very little knowledge about the Spirit: "And they ask you about the Spirit. Say: "The Spirit is the command of my Lord, and you have been given only a little knowledge." (Surah Al-Isra, verse 85). These verses prove that theSpiritcomes from theCreator. In the years before World War II, around 1936, prominent European scientists met in France and agreed to conduct research to discover the essence of the Spirit. The scientists researched a lot, but in the final report meeting in 1959, they decided that the Spirit is an unsolvable mystery. Because, as the Holy Quran states, very little knowledge has been given to humanity about the Spirit. page1487 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue02,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai The soul is widely used in our classical literature. In particular, several sources state that the human soul leaves the body after death and is re-entered into the body on the Day of Judgment. This soul leaving the body is compared to its flight, and on this basis, we can see that the soul is introduced in our literary works as the “Bird of Soul”, “Bird of Spirit”. For example, Alisher Navoi uses thecombination “Bird ofSoul”inhis epic poem “Lison ut-tair”: Jonqushi chun mantiqiroz aylagay, Tengri hamdi birlaog’ozaylagay.[5,7] ForNavoi, thehuman bodyis acage, and thesoul withinit is likea bird in acage. OrBobur’s: Hijron qafasidajon qushi ram qiladur, G'urbat buazizumrni kam qiladur. Wealso encounter this phrase in hisverse. The Spirit Bird in this work by Tolqin Hayit is also an image beyond existence, the secrets of which humanity has always sought to know and understand, but whose secrets it has not yet discovered. The Spirit Bird is a divine image that wanders through the valleys and helps people on this path. It is aware of everything, of times, of people's inner feelings, and of the future. It illuminates the hearts of people with its pleasant voice, but not everyone hears its voice. Those who are immersed in worldly concerns do not notice its arrival and presence. However, heroes who have love and enlightenment in their hearts hear and feel it. In particular, the Spirit Bird is always aware of Bahauddin, constantly flying near him, inspiring him to wander through the valleys, andgiving him peace ofmind. Other characters in the work: Dildorbegim and Bahodir also sometimes hear its voice, sometimes see itslight, sometimes feel itsgentle breezeas itflies by. Although they did not ridetowards the Buraq Valley like Bahauddin, they are lovers who have felt love. Here, the writer seems to be puttingforward theidea that theSpirit Bird is also closeto loving hearts. The creator, describing this bird as a divinecreature, says that it exudes a pleasant fragrance. The bird always invites Bahauddin to go on a journey in his mind: “Something whispered, a pleasant fragrance spread…”[7,32] It seems that Bahauddin understood the bird’s purpose and was spiritually ready for the journey. For this reason, he obediently closes his eyes to the bird, and thi
