Abstract

This article explores the depiction of divine love and the human condition in Central Asian poetry. It focuses on how Sufi literature interprets love as a spiritual path toward purification and human perfection. Works by poets such as Alisher Navoiy, Ahmad Yassawi, and Mashrab are examined to understand the transformative power of divine love on the human soul. The article also highlights the interplay between divine love, human passion, spiritual quest, and moral values.
