THE LIFE, ACTIVITIES, AND WORKS OF MUHAMMAD ALI (DUKCHI ESHON)
Abstract
This article analyzes the religious, intellectual, and socio-spiritual activities of Muhammad Ali (Dukchi Eshon), one of the leading representatives of Sufism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author examines his role within the Naqshbandiyya order, his influence on the spiritual life of the Fergana Valley, and the intellectual circle that formed around him. Special attention is given to the works “Manāqib-i Dūkchī Eshon” and “Ibrat al-ghāfilīn”, which are studied from a textual and historical perspective.
