THE IMAGE OF IMAM BUKHARI IN MODERN UZBEK LITERATURE

Abstract

If you look at the pages of new Uzbek literature, you will see that most of the poetic dramas are written on historical themes. This process, it can be said, began with Oybek's Mahmud Torobi and H. Olimjon's Muqanna. This literary tradition continued during the years of independence. In particular, the high artistic samples of the poetic drama "Sahibkiron" (A.Oripov), "Imam Bukhari" (U.Kochkor), "Samarkand saykali" (Ikbol Mirzo) saw the world. In the work of Imam Bukhari by Usman Kochkar, the image of the great mystic Imam al-Bukhari was created. It describes the very period of the scientist's maturity, the events of his return from Nishapur to Bukhara, the scenes of his life in his homeland on the basis of a philosophical and psychological approach. The play contrasts Imam Bukhari, a man of religion and enlightenment, with a group of hermits who have taken Islam as a beacon, but are completely ignorant of the religion and are mired in ignorance. The article analyzes the work in terms of the subject, composition, system of images, and on this basis reveals the peculiarities of the poetic drama.
