THE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION OF THE CONCEPTS OF SPIRITUALITY AND LOYALTY THROUGH THE IMAGE OF "QORAKO‘Z MAJNUN" IN SAID AHMAD'S SHORT STORIES

Abstract

This article examines the artistic interpretation of loyalty, faithfulness, and spiritual values in Said Ahmad's short story Qorako‘z Majnun. Through the characters of Saodat Aya and Qorako‘z, the story portrays the profound spiritual bond between humans and animals, the highest expression of loyalty, and the significance of national and religious-moral values in society. The symbolic meaning of the narrative is interpreted in harmony with the principles of kindness, compassion, and faithfulness reflected in the Qur'an and the Hadiths. The study concludes that Qorako‘z Majnun is one of the most influential works of Uzbek prose, artistically expressing the concepts of loyalty and spirituality with deep philosophical and aesthetic significance.
