Attitude to saints in Turkic-Persian sources of Central Asia

Abstract

In the East, mystical motifs were developed in the literature of the Islamic period. In
particular, when studying sources related to the history of medieval Maverannahr and Khorasan, the poetry
of this period reflects different views on symbols, and historical works present biographical information
about the lives of Sufi writers. This article analyzes the information about representatives of Sufism in
the works of «Baburnom» by Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur and «Tarikhi Rashidi» by Haidar Mirzo. The
prophecies characteristic of saints and the authors’ attitude to this situation are studied.
