THE STORY OF THE CREATION OF MAN IS IN THE TEXTS OF RABGUZI AND THE HISTORY OF ANBIYO AND HUKAMO

This article presents a comparative analysis of Nasiruddin Rabghuzi’s Qissasi Rabghuzi and Alisher Navoi’s Tarixi anbiyo va hukamo, focusing on the “Story of the Creation of Adam (peace be upon him)”. The process of Adam’s creation — from mixing soil and water into clay, its drying, and finally the infusion of spirit into his body — is described in detail. The study highlights the narrative techniques, interpretation of images, religious-educational content, and artistic features in both works. In addition, the article compares the Qur’anic verses and hadiths cited in the two texts. It also examines the role of these works in the development of medieval Turkic literature and their spiritual and educational significance.
