REFLECTION OF MUSICAL ART IN THE AESTHETICS OF SUFISM

Abstract

In the aesthetic concept of Sufism, of all art forms, music occupied a special place. In understanding the essence of music and its evaluation, the idea of Sufism opposed Islamic ideology. Islam, as we know, does not like any music, in worship of Allah, the use of music is prohibited. Therefore, the aesthetics of Sufism initially abandoned music, but gradually appreciated and began to apply little by little. According to the adherents of this trend, music belongs to the Pure World, i.e. the world of God, this is the harmony of the spirit of God, so it will help people in understanding God, save them from bad behavior. The aesthetics of Sufism, according to their ideals, clearly distinguished form and content from poetry. A poetic work should be emotional and easily perceived. The content of the verse is, first of all, the discovery of the spiritual power of the creator, a person unites with this spirit and is purified. The form of the work is a reflection of absolute being in the form of an object of the material world. For Sufis, poetry is not only a pure, pleasant form and rhythm, the addition of rhymes, it is a natural manifestation of the need for the inner world, the ability to understand beauty and beauty, to achieve them. Sufi poems were composed by major Arabic, Persian, Turkic and Azerbaijani poets (Attar, Saadi, Rumi, Hafiz, Niyazi, Jami, Nasimi). Their poetry is associated with symbolism, which made it possible to express strong opinions without fear of exile.
