Prominent poet, scholar, playwright, teacher and enlightener Abdurauf Fitrat's work in the

jadidism movement takes a significant place. It is a rather difficult matter to imagine the history

of Uzbek literature, including the history of literature of the 20s, without a Fitrat. Abdurauf

Abdurahim's son was born in Bukhara on 4 October 1886. His father, Abdurahim, was a

merchant. Fitrat's mother, Mustaf bibi, was a very precocious woman who was largely involved

in the education and upbringing of her children herself. Influenced by his mother, Abdurauf

developed a growing interest in poetry, approaching the artistic world from early childhood.

Abdurauf Abdurahim is considered the literary pseudonym of his son, Photratus, and the lexical

meaning of this word means innate talent, the ability of the Creator given to a person by God.

"After an old-fashioned school, Fitrat studied in the madrasas of Bukhara, Istanbul, durilfununlar,

learning Arabic, Persian, Turkish perfectly. Adib's father was engaged in Mercantile pursuits,

mainly under the tutelage of his mother, Bibijan, A.He is fond of the works of Navoi, Fuzuli,

Bedil, Umar Khayyam, Zebuniso, Uvaysi. Turkish life plays an important role in his fate. He is

active in the “Bukharan Education MA'orifi Association, founded in Turkey, serving the

improvement of the jadid method schools founded by Behbudi. His first collection was published

in 1912 under the title “Sayha” (“cry”)."[. https://arxiv.uz Sahiti] Abdurauf Fitrat in 1909, with

the help of the charity of the Society, went to Turkey to study in Istanbul. Mahbuba, Fitra's sister,

recalls that her younger brother Abdurahman (who at the time was acting as a letter picker at a

printing house in Kagan) was helping his brother in terms of substance. In addition to his studies

at Istanbul University, Fitrat also taught at the madrasa “Dorul-voizin” (preachers – lecturers)

there. This madrasa was also engaged in training young people who wanted to study in Bukhara

and Turkisotn. "B.In Kasimov's work, it is reported that Ghazi also studied with Scholar

Yunosov at the “Dorul – voizin” madrasa in Istanbul for a time."[ Kasimov B. Maslakdosh. -

Tashkent: East NMAK, 1994] when Fitrat returns to his hometown of Bukhara, usuli Jadid

rushes to open schools and establish cultural life in Bukhara. Fitrat agrees with other jadid

ma;rifatists to form the young bukharians party, chairing the faction committee A.Burhonov is

elected. Fitrat, on the other hand, is appointed to the post of secretary-general. From 1915,

Hagan “began to head the left wing of the young bukharians movement. During the period

leading up to 1916, the Bukharan jadids were a unified and unified unit. They later split into two

parts. While part of the jadids, led by Abdulvohid Burhonov, were merely cultural and

enlightenment disseminators under the old regime, the other part of them, like Fitrat, Fayzulla

Khojaev, studied in foreign qualifications and brought knowledge, also defended the struggle

against the Emir of Bukhara, along with the dissemination of enlightenment and culture among

the people. The main reasons for such a division are as follows:

Including the Turkestan region, where the socio – economic and political situation in the

emirate of Bukhara weighs a little, the Russian tsar and the implementation of the 2-fold

tyranny policy of the emirate of Bukhara;

Belief in the influence of propaganda work and propaganda of the Bolsheviks among the

local population;

The fact that the representatives of the local people were kept in the political shell, the

insufficient development of their ideological – theoretical level in terms of politics.
By calling them to order the Emir of Bukhara, they will try to change the political and cultural

system in Bukhara through the transfer of originals. Encouraged by the February Revolution of

1917, they want to represent the Central Committee and send Fitrat and Usmanhaja. Even the

Emir of Bukhara, Sayyid Olimkhan, proclaimed his decree supreme on April 7, encouraging

some cultural reforms. But the left jadids, led by Fitrat, plan a demonstration in Bukhara. After

the participants of the demonstration are shot by the Emir's armed forces, Fitrat is forced to

continue his activities in Samarkand. He worked as an editorial writer for “Hurriyat”, a

newspaper founded by Mahmudhaja Behbudi in Samarkand. (Issues published 1917-1918).

More than 30 articles and poems by Fitrat were published on the pages of this newspaper. When

the newspaper closes, Fitrat returns to Bukhara again to work on drafting reforms.

In 1918, Fitrat was invited by Munavvarqori to the newly established Turkestan people's

dorilfun, and he headed the Branch (Department) of literature and philosophy from the new

academic year. The first textbook written in Uzbek language publishes “mother tongue” (in co-

authorship with Shokirjan Rahimiy and Qayum Ramadan). It is at this time that a number of his

sharp articles are published. The famous Article” our language “will be published in the

newspaper "kalaysiyun". On the occasion of the publication of political brochures such as”

Eastern politics“,” weeping Islam“, Ziyo Said noted above, the magazine” Tong " operates in the

publication. After the establishment of the people's Republic of Bukhara, Fitrat was recalled on

the date of March 9, 1921 to pursue public affairs. As soon as he arrives in Bukhara, from the

experience of the organization, Fitrat forms the Scientific Society of Bukhara, begins to collect

various manuscripts in cooperation with local residents and scribes.
On September 23, 1921, the “Constitution of the Bukhara people's Republic of saloons”, edited

by Fitrat, was adopted. On the way to the development of the national economy, he headed more

reforms and events in various economic areas, began to mark the geographical regions of the

country, involve the tasks of the amudarya fleet in the goals of the Republic, set up on the side of

the frunzeists and set out to restore the architectural monuments of Bukhara, as well as urban

water During this time, Fitrat officially carried out ea works of unlimited importance for the

development of national culture and economy during the performance of such responsible tasks

as people's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Education, deputy chairman of the Council

of national economy. Buzoro quickly moves into the development path, pushing the issues of

providing the center with cereals and food to second place. “On June 12, 1923, in Moscow, the

Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia adopted the resolution “on Bukhara

honey”, and according to this resolution, the committee's Secretary Ya. Ye.Rudzutak came to

Bukhara and set about cleaning up the ‘former jadids who had settled in state affairs'. During the

same period, because of his alleged abuse of office and his financial inferiority,” Fitrat was

removed from the responsible duties he was managing. Fitrat was soon recalled to Moscow by

the Muhtor representation of the Republic of Bukhara under the former Union government,

where he was involved in the work of such timed publications as “Uchqun” and “Bukharskaya

jizn”."[Boltaboyev H. Abdurauf Fitrat [text]: treatise. Tashkent. Youth publishing house, 2022.]

Fitrat marched in Moscow throughout 1923-1924. In those years, he became more engaged in

artistic creation. It was during these years that his works were written, such as the tragedy

“Abulfayzhan”, the scientific fiction “Bedil (in one session)”, and “Resurrection”, ‘The

Rebellion of Satan to the Lord'. According to experts, the song should be studied in terms of the

spirit and style of writing of the two works as works with a deep philosophical meaning, created

on the basis of the processing of a religious – mythical plot, directed against various injustices

and inequalities of its time, standing close to Divine Comedy. After returning from Moscow,

Fitrat resumed his creative and scientific activities again in Tashkent. His lecture on the finger

poem system in the scientific show of the Ministry of people's education of Uzbekistan, his

active participation in the scientific expedition organized to collect masterpieces of classical

literature throughout Fergana, Namangan and Bukhara, followed by several research, articles,

textbooks and tutorials created show that his career during this period was one of the most

productive creative stages in his life.

"Fitrat is accused of being shaky and rebellious among most jadids for his progressive

democratic ideas and opinions. The Tsarist authorities, on the other hand, accused him of

resisting colonialism, and during the time of the Schloss, when communist ideology prevailed,

they accused him of nationalist slander, “enemy of the people”, in favor of the idea of

panturkism. Professor H.Yakubov recounts that Fitrat was brought to hioya by his friend

Fayzulla Khojaev until 1937. In 1937, Fitrat, among many others, was imprisoned by the NKVD.

Joseph Stalin's March 28, 1938,”was on the list of declared".[ https://wikipedia.org Sahiti] thus,

Abdurauf Abdurahim's son, Fitrat, was shot and killed in a slaughterhouse in Tashkent (now the

Bozsuv coast of Yunusabad district) on the date of October 4, 1938. The court decision to

sentence him to death was signed a day later, on October 5, 1938.
As a conclusion, we can say that Abdurauf Fitrat, as a major exponent of the jadidism movement,

was able to leave behind his name the bright pages of our history. During his career, he carried

out works that were beneficial to the interests of the people. He left behind a small number of

poems and stories. He took over from the history of science as a huge historian and art historian.

No matter what science he applied as a qomusi scholar, he was able to show that science in that

field was a mature scholar for its time. As long as our culture and the art of literature has

progressed today, the place and role of Abdurauf Fitrat's works in its Zamiri is incomparable.
