THE FORMATION OF SUFI TEACHINGS IN CENTRAL ASIA AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Sufism is a phenomenon that arose from the middle of the 8th century due to several religious, socio-economic, political, ideological and ideological reasons. Ontological and geneological ideas were being formed in the Sufis, whose main ideas were fear of God and piety. The fact that thinking about metaphysical phenomena is somewhat limited in traditional Islamic thought has motivated many foreign researchers to look for the roots of these teachings in other faiths and sources that give way to some superstition. In these views, we sometimes come across conclusions that are the result of going beyond the limits, bigotry, and not understanding the essence of the subject. Therefore, it is required from the researches of the new era to fully cover the subject based on in-depth research and comparative analysis of these issues. It is clear that the conclusions expressed by Orientalists about the history of Sufism and its ideas are often derived from the approaches that prevailed in their countries or scientific and cultural environments. However, recognizing the scientific importance of these fundamental studies, it is becoming necessary to carry out studies aimed at studying their thoughts, finding the fundamental principles of Sufism teachings, and their comparative analysis.
