This article provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the concept of the ideal human in the epics of Alisher Navoiy’s Xamsa. The study examines the formation of the perfect human ideal within the framework of Eastern classical thought, particularly in connection with Sufi philosophical traditions. The key components of the ideal human model — moral purity, overcoming the ego (nafs), intellectual and cognitive development, spiritual elevation through love, and social responsibility — are systematically analyzed. In addition, each epic of the “Xamsa,” including Hayrat ul-abror, Farhod va Shirin, Layli va Majnun, Sab’ai sayyor and Saddi Iskandariy, is explored to reveal different aspects of the ideal human image, such as moral maturity, willpower and labor, divine love, formation through life experience, and social leadership. The article argues that Navoiy’s model of the perfect human is dynamic rather than static, emphasizing continuous self-improvement and spiritual growth. It also highlights the aesthetic, philosophical, and social dimensions of this concept, demonstrating its universality and relevance in the modern world.
