Abstract
This article examines the representation of the stages of Sharia within the framework of the Yasaviya Sufi order in the works of Sulaymon Boqirg‘oniy. The study focuses on the linguopoetic and conceptual interpretation of the ten maqoms at the gate of Sharia, highlighting their spiritual, ethical, and didactic functions in the formation of the perfect human being (insan al-kamil). Special attention is given to the five fundamental pillars of Islam—faith (iman), prayer (salat), fasting (sawm), almsgiving (zakat), and pilgrimage (hajj)—as reflected in Boqirg‘oniy’s hikmats. The research reveals that the poet integrates Islamic legal principles with Sufi philosophical concepts, presenting them in a simple, accessible, and pedagogically effective form for a broader audience. Through the analysis of poetic texts, it is demonstrated that Sharia serves as the foundational stage of spiritual development, preceding tariqa and enabling the seeker to attain higher mystical knowledge. The findings suggest that Boqirg‘oniy’s works play a significant role in disseminating Yasaviya teachings and in shaping the moral and spiritual consciousness of society.
