Abstract
This article explores the representation of the stages at the gate of Sharia in the works of Sulaymon Boqirgoniy within the framework of the Yasaviya Sufi tradition. The study focuses on the interpretation of the ten maqoms of Sharia and their role in the spiritual formation of the seeker (solik). Particular attention is given to the reflection of the five pillars of Islam—faith (iman), prayer (salat), fasting (sawm), almsgiving (zakat), and pilgrimage (hajj)—in the poet’s hikmats. The research analyzes how Boqirgoniy integrates Islamic doctrinal principles with Sufi teachings, presenting them in a didactic and accessible poetic form. It is revealed that Sharia is conceptualized as the foundational stage of spiritual development, preceding the path of tariqa and ensuring moral and religious discipline. Through textual and conceptual analysis, the article demonstrates that Boqirgoniy’s works serve not only as religious instruction but also as a means of shaping ethical consciousness and promoting spiritual self-perfection. The findings highlight the significance of his творчество in the dissemination of Yasaviya teachings and in the development of Uzbek Sufi literature.
Keywords: Sharia, Yasaviya order, Sulaymon Boqirgoniy, maqom, Sufism, hikmat, iman, salat, sawm, zakat, spiritual development, Islamic doctrine, moral education, tariqa, Sufi literature.
