The Spiritual and Moral Foundations in the Works of Alisher Navoi

The works of Alisher Navoi constitute a true encyclopedia of spirituality. When one contemplates Navoi’s reflections in comparison with the scenes of life, a heartfelt wish inevitably arises: “If only the great thinker’s works, with their profound and wise ideas, could always accompany each of us…”Especially the admonitions, moral advice, warnings, stories and parables in Mahbub al-Qulub serve as a complete healing remedy for the human spirit. In particular, such spiritual remedies are of great benefit in the conditions of a market economy.
