According to this spiritual doctrine, \u201cthe first stage of the Sufi path is repentance, while the second is love and devotion toward the \u2018Azizon\u2019 (saints and friends of God).\u201d The term Azizon refers to the pious sheikhs, pirs, and spiritual mentors who walk the path of divine truth, which underscores the central importance of choosing a guide or spiritual master (ustoz) in the Yassawi tradition. This also highlights the deep-rooted teacher\u2013disciple relationship, reverence for the spiritual guide, and their role in leading disciples on the path of spiritual refinement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43190\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_3.jpg 660w, https:\/\/bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_3-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The presentation also delved into the essence of the concept of Iqoniya, which denotes a firm, doubt-free faith grounded in knowledge and certainty. Through examples from Ahmad Yassawi\u2019s Hikmats, the researcher illustrated how both concepts \u2013 Azizon and Iqoniya \u2013 are deeply embedded in his teachings. His analysis shed light on the philosophical foundations of the order, the spiritual significance of the pir\u2013murid relationship, and the path toward achieving unwavering faith within the Sufi framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The speaker emphasized that Ahmad Yassawi\u2019s philosophical ideas are not only manifest in his renowned work Diwan-i Hikmat, but have also profoundly influenced later Sufi literature. \u201cThe essence of the Yassawi path,\u201d he noted, \u201cis a solid faith (iqoniya) that leads a person to spiritual perfection, and an unconditional love and loyalty to the righteous guides (azizon) on the path of divine truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">This presentation, which was met with great interest by participants, offered a fresh perspective on the relevance of Yassawi teachings in contemporary times and provided deeper insight into their role in enriching the spiritual world of modern individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_4.jpg 660w, https:\/\/bukhari.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yassaviykonf_4-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The international event became a vital platform for critical reflection on Ahmad Yassawi\u2019s literary and Sufi heritage from a modern scholarly perspective.
