INTRODUCTION
In Uzbek literature, there are about twenty works of
various genres in which the image of Abu Rayhan
Beruni is interpreted. Among these works, the novel
"Abu Rayhan Beruni" by the People's Writer of
Uzbekistan Isajon Sultan, published this year, was
added. Compared to other works in which the
character of the Alloma is interpreted, the novel
acquires its uniqueness in a number of aspects. In
particular, the writer tried to fully reflect Beruni's era,
as well as fully reveal Hazrat Beruni's life, personality,
and his religious, philosophical, and political views. In

research work, a tool for measuring the relative
weights of substances he made with his own hands, a
fine scale for determining the weight of precious
stones, equipment based on the rule of adjacent
containers, high Hand-made inventions of various
sizes, such as accurate astrolabe and armila,
intellectual discoveries put forward by clear scientific
evidence are shown from the beginning to the end of
the work, sometimes with the help of events and
sometimes using the language of images in different
ways. "Abu Rayhan also read the works of Greek
scientists on the structure of the earth. In addition, he
studied the theory of triangles and right angles.
Whenever I looked, I would see him on the bills. After
measuring and checking the rum, together with the
blacksmith, his hands made his own astrolabe and
armilla. The scientific achievements and labors of our
Alloma ancestor are described as follows. At this point,
we remember the following words of the former
president of France, Francois Mitterrand. "The services
rendered by Abu Rayhan Beruni, the great thinker of
the East, known as "Al-Baron" in the West, are so great
that no representative of any other nation can be
placed next to him. He was the first in all fields of
science. The history of world science cannot be
imagined without the scientific works of Abu Rayhan
Beruni."
Isajon Sultan Abu Rayhan looks at Beruni's relationship
with the kings from a new perspective. In this regard,
the writer tries to be more truthful than his
predecessors. If we pay attention to the following lines
written by Hazrat Abu Rayhan Beruni, in which his
status is described, it would be wrong to say that his
relationship with the emirs and sultans was constantly
conflicting.
I climbed the pulpits and rose in rank,
Many moments have passed in the shadow of
blessings.
An Iraqi family fed with milk,
I - Mansur became the sprout.
Vishmagir, the stone-hearted
Vishmagir, invited me.
I didn't like it - "Leave it," my friend said.
Ul Ali is a descendant of Ma'mun
He was a doctor, he never saw pain, my dear.
The last Ma'mun looked at me,
My head is blue.
Mahmud did not miss his blessing,
It's always my fault to not be afraid.
This excerpt from a poem about the life of Abu Rayhan
Beruni mentions Amir Afrigis, Khorezmshah Mamuni,
Sultan Ghaznavis and Qabus ibn Vishmagir. In the

novel, Isajon Sultan imagines the relationship of kings
with allama in a warm and sincere way, as mentioned
in the above poem and similar sources. For example,
Sultan Mas'ud Ghaznavi and Abu Rayhan Beruni had a
very good relationship. Beruni mentored Masoud
Ghaznavi from his youth and later dedicated one of his
greatest works, Qanuni Masoudi, to him. In his turn,
Sultan Mas'ud also respected his teacher and showed
him respect. "In this way, Sultan Mas'ud Ghaznavi
raised the honor of Abu Rayhan to the stars in the sky.
Bogi gave him a separate garden from Masudi. He was
so beautiful that everyone envied him. Blue waters
flowed from the east, and basil was planted along with
various flowers. From the image above, we can see the
high respect of Sultan Mas'ud for his teacher. If we pay
attention to the phrase "basils were planted along with
various flowers" in the passage, we will notice the
writer's meticulousness and uniqueness in paying
attention to the smallest details in the image.
According to the sources, Abu Rayhan Beruni loved the
basil flower very much. There are even opinions that
the suffix basil in his name caused him to be called a
basilisk person as a result of the fact that he always
wore a basil flower on his forehead. The presence of
basil flowers in the garden of Sultan Mas'ud's royal
garden is a sign that the gift is intended to be more
pleasing to the recipient. Every reader who is familiar
with the life of Hazrat Beruni will understand that it is
not for nothing that the basil flower is highlighted in
the text given by the author.
There are some sentences that are confusing to the
readers of Abu Rayhan Beruni's works, especially his
poems. In our opinion, the lines referring to the 111th
Surah Masad of the Holy Qur'an, which is considered a
divine book, disappointed the author of the novel. But
we can see that the writer found an artistic solution to
spread this confusion through the following passage
taken from the work.
"When I was ignorant, when I was young, in order to
show how smart I was, I used to answer those who
asked about my family name, saying, 'I don't remember
my father, and my mother was "a piece of junk". Out of
sheer ignorance, I applied those words about the late
Abu Lahab's wife to my mother. When I remember, my
heart is full of serum. I will do whatever I can to make
sure other mothers' sons don't do the same stupid
thing as me."
Although about ten novels have been created in Uzbek
literature with the image of Abu Rayhan Beruni, but the
following real event from Hazrat Beruni's life has not
been reflected in them. In the interpretation of Isajon
Sultan, the story of the scholar Nizami Aruziy
Samarkandi, who lived and worked recently in the
book "Rare stories" called "Rare stories", is described
in the section called "Inna lillahi va inna ilayhi rojiun" in
the interpretation of Isajon Sultan. "This is what
happened, it was told to me by Abu Rayhan's friend,
jurist Abu Hasan Walwalaji.

- I went to Abu Rayhan's house to ask about the
situation. I saw that he was breathing heavily, his chest
was tight. Then look at me:
- What did you say to me one day "Al-jaddat al-fasida"?
he said. I sympathized with his suffering:
-In such a case? I asked
- O Abul Hasan, - said Abu Rayhan, - I am saying
goodbye to this world, isn't it better to know about
that matter than to leave without knowing it?
That issue was about the science of inheritance
calculation. I explained to him the calculation of al-
jaddat al-fasida, and he memorized it and taught me
what he had promised. With that, I stepped out in front
of him. Before reaching home, I heard that Abu Rayhan
surrendered his life to the Haqq on the way..."
We can see that the condition of the genius who
showed a beautiful example of the search for
knowledge from the cradle to the grave on his
deathbed is depicted in the style of Isajon Sultan in a
combination of historical truth and artistic skill.
So, the life of such a genius, who left an indelible mark
on the world civilization and could be born only in the
past, is an inexhaustible resource that can be
repeatedly referred to by creators.
