THE ROLE OF THE WORK “TURKIY GULISTON YOXUD AXLOQ” IN EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE

Abstract

The work “Turkiy guliston yoxud axloq” by Abdulla Avloni is one of the highest works in the moral-didactic direction in Uzbek literature. The work was written in Uzbek, following the work of the famous Persian writer Sheikh Saadi “Gulistan”, and was published in Tashkent in 1913. The author’s main goal is to educate the younger generation as moral, spiritual, knowledgeable and perfect people. Avloni considers morality to be the basis of human life, and education to be the heart of the nation. He puts forward the idea that “knowledge without morality is vain, knowledge tempered with morality is the true light”. The work interprets education in a broad sense, emphasizing the importance of not only the physical, but also the spiritual and moral development of the child. The author calls the educator “like a doctor”, describing him as a person who cleanses the evil spirits in the human heart. The role of parents, teachers, and the government in education is emphasized, and it is taught that every person must first educate themselves.
