“HAYRAT UL-ABROR” DOSTONIDA ISKANDAR OBRAZI

Abstract

This article looks at how Alisher Navoi presents Iskandar (Alexander) in Hayrat ul-abror. In this poem, Iskandar is not the main character; he appears in short stories and brief references used to teach a lesson. The article shows that Iskandar is used in three main ways: to remind readers that this world is temporary, to share wisdom, and through the image of the wall (sadd) to express spiritual strength and firmness. The study concludes that Hayrat ul-abror prepares the way for the Iskandar theme to become more important in Navoi’s later epics.
