HAGIOGRAPHICAL ANTHOLOGIES: STYLISTIC FEATURES OF FARIDIDDIN ATTOR'S "TAZKIRAT UL-AVLIYO" AND ALISHER NAVOI'S "NASOYIM UL-MUHABBAT"

This article analyzes the content, genre characteristics, and role of hagiographic works (about saints and Sufi sheikhs) in Uzbek literature. The manoqibs, which hold an important place in Uzbek Sufi literature, are examined, focusing on how they illuminate the lives of saints, sheikhs, and religious leaders, as well as the didactic and educational significance of these works. The article comparatively analyzes Alisher Navoi’s “Nasoyim ul-Muhabbat” and Farididdin Attor’s “Tazkirat ul-Avliyo” from ideological, stylistic, and artistic perspectives. Although both are Sufi tazkiras, they exhibit significant differences in style and content. Attor’s work is philosophical, dramatic, and miracle-based, promoting the concept of vahdat ul-vujud.
