THE SPIRITUAL HERITAGE OF JALALUDDI RUMI: IN THE INTERPRETATION OF WESTERN AND UZBEK LITERARY SCHOLARS
Muqaddas Abdurakhimovna Tajibayeva , Mukhayyoxon Turayevna Matkobulova ,Abstract
This article explores the spiritual and ethical foundations of Jalaluddin Rumi’s intellectual, ethical thought and assesses their relevance for moral self-formation and contemporary educational thought. Using a comparative and reception-oriented framework, the study situates Rumi within world literature through an analysis of Western and Uzbek scholarly interpretations of his works. Particular attention is given to ethical anthropology, spiritual self-formation, and hermeneutic approaches to literary reception. Drawing on major translations and critical studies, the article explores how Rumi’s inner spiritual experience has been variously interpreted and recontextualized within Western literary and philosophical discourse. The analysis suggests that Rumi’s thought articulates an integrative model of human development based on ethical awareness, spiritual transformation, and the interaction between rational reflection and inner sensibility. This model continues to offer significant conceptual resources for moral education and intercultural dialogue in contemporary humanities research.
