RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVES IN THE PORTRAYAL OF AMIR TEMUR: HISTORICAL-SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS AND LITERARY INTERPRETATION

Abstract

The figure of Amir Temur is represented not only as a historical leader but also as a spiritual and religious symbol. In both historical and literary sources, his religious views, adherence to Islamic values, and commitment to divine justice are portrayed as fundamental ideological principles. These aspects demonstrate that Temur’s life philosophy was deeply rooted in the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sufi thought. In Central Asian history, the personality of Amir Temur as a Sahibkiran is regarded as a symbol of power, justice, and divine inspiration. The term “Sahibkiran” is not a random title, but one with deep spiritual, historical, and astral significance. The attribution of this title to Temur from birth reflects the belief in his divine designation. This thesis explores the concept of his birth as a Sahibkiran through historical, philosophical, and spiritual lenses.
