This work encourages us to appreciate every breath of our mothers and to reflect deeply on their
incomparable place in our lives. In this work, the mother is described as a fortress that embodies
the greatest blessing of life, the greatest love of humanity. Otkir Hoshimov's "The Works of the
World" is not only a story praising maternal love, but also an artistic truth that opens our eyes to
the bitter truths of life. The writer encourages us to look into the bottomless depths of a mother's
heart and feel her pain and longing. The mother, the heroine of the work, is a sacred figure who,
despite the sorrows of life, has endured the most difficult trials of her life and has preserved the
hope of survival for her child. Seeing her pain, our hearts are broken, but it is precisely in this
pain that lies boundless love and selflessness. While reading, we understand that Otkir
Khashimov's images are simple, but heart-wrenchingly touching. The work shows us that even if
fate is cruel, maternal love can overcome any sorrow. It encourages us to deeply reflect: have we
managed to show love to our mothers? We must understand the value of mothers right now, at
this very moment, so that when the day comes, we are not surrounded by such questions. "The
Affairs of the World" is not an ordinary life story, but a sad lament that reaches the hearts. It not
only gives the reader artistic aesthetic pleasure, but also makes the heart tremble and feel the
boundlessness of maternal love. Let's take the story "Betrayal" from the work "The Affairs of the
World". In this story, a mother encourages her child to be honest, to do good to people, and to
turn away from evil. Throughout our lives, we encounter many people. Some of them are our
close friends, some are our loved ones. But as time passes, we can taste the taste of betrayal from
every person. In the story, mothers are described as the closest people to a child, and it is
emphasized that they should never be betrayed by them. At the end of this story, the writer
invites the reader to reflect deeply with his touching words: “What about your mother, has your
mother ever betrayed you?!” As we have witnessed, this work is one of those rare works that
touch the depths of the heart. The writer Said Ahmad, who read this and became prolific in
satirical writing, said: “I would like to call the story “The Affairs of the World” not a story, but a
poem. It reads like a poem. While reading it, we think of our mothers.” Isn’t this work really like
that?

caring for every person. Throughout the events, her kindness to people she knows and doesn't
know is proof of this. In particular, her pity for a person she doesn't know at all when she looks
at a star flying in the sky and sees that a poor person's life has ended is another manifestation of
her human virtue. In this, the author has summarized the general character traits of an Uzbek
mother in the image of a mother. Every person who reads this work will have tears in their eyes.
Some of her stories bring a smile to a person's face, while others make us think.
"Iltij" is the last story in the story. In this work, the author recalls an important event in his life.
In the last passage, the author regrets that no matter how many works his mother wrote during
her lifetime, she did not dedicate a single work to her mother. The most touching sentence in this
passage is: “Why don’t you write a book about me, my son?” In “The Works of the World,” the
divine power of motherly love is depicted with heart-wrenching pathos, and the bitter truths of
human destinies, the cruel twists of life, and the unfading and shining of maternal devotion like
an eternal flame are expressed through a unique image that gives artistic aesthetic pleasure. A
mother is an unyielding mountain in the face of life’s trials, a noble figure who protects her child
under her wing at every turn of life. A mother’s heart is like an innocent river, she gives love to
her child without expecting any reward. In his work, Hoshimov was able to not only describe the
fate of mothers, but also to instill their heartache, tears, and inner pain into the reader’s heart. His
characters are taken from real life, and their every word and action is familiar and close to us.
The image of the mother in the work is depicted with unprecedented sincerity and truth. She is
the embodiment of selflessness, loyalty and pure love. Each page of the work expresses the
boundlessness of maternal love, but sometimes the existence of children who do not appreciate
this love through heartbreaking images. All worldly affairs are fleeting, but maternal love is
eternal! Otkir Hoshimov is one of the great writers who immortalized this love in words! He is
not just a writer, but a wise person who has understood the subtle secrets of life. The most
touching aspect of the work is that it touches the heart of the reader, makes them think more
deeply about their own mother, and encourages them to love her. However, sometimes people
get caught up in the worries of life and forget how great a mother's love is. The work is built on
this belated realization - sometimes we don't appreciate the people we love when they are with us,
and only when we lose them do we realize how invaluable they are.
In conclusion, the work "The Works of the World" once again makes us feel the incomparability
of maternal love, its selflessness and the limitlessness of patience. However, the bitter truth
reflected in the pathetic spirit of the work shows that a mother is the most sacred event in human
life, her presence is happiness, and her absence is an endless dream. In short, a mother is the
most precious of all blessings. Her prayer is the greatest happiness, protection and salvation for a
child. Otkir Hashimov, describing the boundless love in a mother's heart, reminds us that no
matter how old a person is, he should not be separated from his mother's love and prayers. Life is
fleeting, and time is cruel. A mother's love is eternal, and the light in her heart never fades. This
work makes everyone think deeply, encourages everyone to understand the value of a mother in
time, and show her love and attention. Because a mother's consent is the greatest happiness in
this world.
