PALABRAS CLAVES: Nizami Ganjavi, poeta azerbaiyano, nombres geográficos. TITLE: Geographical names in the works of Nizami Ganjavi. AUTHOR. 1. Ph.D. Bayram Apoev. ABSTRACT: The article analyzes the geographical names that are reflected in Hamsa by Nizami Ganjavi. As a result of the study of geographical names, a table was compiled. This table covers 157 geographical names. It was revealed that most of these names (125) were given in Iskendernam. An analysis of these geographical names is evidence that the brilliant thinker Nizami 2 deeply studied the ancient Greek and Arabic literature and the works of ancient geographers and was closely acquainted with the geographical appearance of the globe. KEY WORDS: Nizami Ganjavi, Azerbaijani poet, geographical names. INTRODUCTION. Nizami, who was “a genius in the true sense of the word” (Y. Bertels, 1962), “the highest mountain of human ideas”, “goddess of the artistic word”, “owner of encyclopedic intelligence” and the phenomenon of human perception at all times and artistic thinking stands at the highest point of view. Geographical names are important in his poetry. It is no coincidence that some authors remind the famous writer Jules Verne because of the geographical coverage of the Earth (from the western coast of Europe to the Pacific Ocean; from the Nile River in Africa to the North Pole). However, no specific studies have been conducted so far to delve deeper into the geographical names of the works of J. Vern in the 12th century, and so far no scientific works have been published. True, the authors who wrote "Comments" on the poetry of the poet (R. Aliyev, A. Jafar, M. Sultanov, H. Yusifli, H.R. Lutyurk, N. Arasli and others). On some geographical names in the "Hamsa" provided some valuable information and brief comments (Nizami, 1981). However, for some reason, the information provided by these authors did not go beyond the scope of “some geographical names” and “short comments” (Sh. Safarov, B. Hasanov, 2002, pp. 165 - 194). Thus, the authors collect many geographical objects mentioned in “Alexandria” (Zangibar, Afrana, Alexandria, Khorasan, Greek, Chur, Shaviran - Shabran, Babil, Geyruvan, Sanjab, Hari, Chach, Gannuk and others) provided information and tried to explain the meaning and origin of some geographical names. As follows from the title of the article, the authors chose only one poem of the poet (“Alexandria”) as an object of research and investigated not only geographical names, but also a number of geographical and ethnographic problems (Nizami Ganjavi, 2002). 3 DEVELOPMENT. Our famous philosopher scientists made certain mistakes and inaccuracies in the interpretation of geographical names; for example, N. Arasli described Afran as “a city in Egypt” in his book “Historical, Religious - Legendary and Geographical Names” at the end of his book “Hamsa” (Nizami Ganjavi 2002). However, Safarov and others do not justify this geographical name with the name of France (Nizami Ganjavi 1983b). Please note that the name “Afranan” is mentioned six times in “Alexandria”. The fact that this poem is referred to as separate countries along with Egypt and Afranka proves that the second (Afranka) is the city in the first (Egypt). This is the name of Jerusalem, the city of Bethlehem. Maghrib means West. Andalusus is the name of a province in southwestern Spain, which is now called Cordoba. It is called "Arab Spain". It is known that Spain and France (Afranan) are neighboring countries. All of the above examples confirm that Afrana is not a "city" in Egypt, but the name of modern France in medieval Eastern literature, including the "Hamsa" of Nizami. Professor Roger Aliyev, in his commentary on the Seven Wonders, identifies Mount Kudi in the famous "Flood of Noah" from Mount Ararat: "According to legend, Noah's ark came out of the flood in Kudi (now Ararat)." p. 334). While the mountains of Judy and Agri (Ararat) are separate geographical features, the first (Kudi) is located near the border between Turkey and Iraq, and the second is on the border with Armenia. As for the legend, according to some sources, Noah's ark belongs to Judy, and for others - to the dam on Mount Agri. Unfortunately, the outstanding regulator prof. Khalil Yusifli compares Mount Judy to Mount Pain in his commentary on the new edition of his poem Khosrov and Shirin. This confusion in the spelling of geographical names is due to the fact that, in our opinion, various verses included in hamsa are translated by different authors. 4 In view of the foregoing, we decided to conduct a special study of the geographical names contained in hamsa. As a result of our research, we developed a map - “Geographical names in Nizami Hamsa”. This “card-to-card” is one of the first initiatives in this area. We believe that it is advisable to bring this “desktop card” to readers in general, given that future researchers will benefit from this table. Names on the map are based on chronological sequence.

Сучасне ісламознавство: науковий журнал. Острог: Вид-во НаУОА, 2020. DOI: 10.25264/2707-4013-2020-2-12-17 № 2. C. 12–17. Nariman Gasimoglu PROBLEMS OF MUSLIM BELIEF IN AZERBAIJAN: HISTORICAL AND MODERN REALITIES Religiosity in Azerbaijan, the country where vast majority of population are Muslims, has many signs different to what is practiced in other Muslim countries. This difference in the first place is related to the historically established religious mentality of Azerbaijanis. Worth noting is that history of this country with its Shia Muslims majority and Sunni Muslims minority have registered no serious incidents or confessional conflicts and clashes either on the ground of inter-sectarian confrontation or between Muslim and non-Muslim population. Azerbaijan has never had anti-Semitism either; there has been no fact of oppression of Jewish people living in Azerbaijan for many centuries. One of the interesting historic facts is that Molokans (ethnic Russians) who have left Tsarist Russia when challenged by religious persecution and found asylum in neighborhoods of Muslim populated villages of Azerbaijan have been living there for about two hundred years and never faced problems as a religious minority. Besides historical and political reasons, this should be related to tolerance in the religious mentality of Azerbaijanis as well. Features of religion in Azerbaijan: historical context Most of the people living in Azerbaijan were devoted to Tengriism (Tengriism had the most important place in the old belief system of ancient Turks), Zoroastrianism and Christianity before they embraced Islam.

  • Alchemy in Eastern Literature
    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 23 № 1 2020, 22-47 © Khazar University Press 2020 DOI: 10.5782/2223-2621.2020.23.1.22 Alchemy in Eastern Literature Hamlet Isakhanli Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan [email protected] Abstract Alchemy, developing in Ancient Egypt and its environs, was formed during the Islamic age as the branch of science and technology. The transmutation of base metals into noble metals and attempts to achieve immortality or rejuvenation by elixir or philosopher`s stone have been expansively reflected in Eastern literature and folklore. This research discusses the endeavors of great rulers of the ancient East, alchemists of the pre-Islamic and, especially, Islamic periods, and prominent writers of the Islamic Golden Age and contemporary period who wrote various treatises devoted or related to alchemy and alchemists. Discussions here include the great Sumerian epic “Gilgamesh” and the legend of Alexander the Great’s attempt to gain immortality, as well as the story of alchemist Mary of Copt. The last two are related in a poem by Nizami, prominent representative of the twelfth century Azerbaijani literary school that wrote in Persian. Distinct images of alchemy were rendered in his poems, moreover, he created multi-faceted alchemical metaphors to describe transformations within humanity. Khagani Shirvani, Nizami’s contemporary, and nineteenth century Azerbaijani thinker Mirza Akhundov, also addressed the topic of alchemy, as well as religious mysticism in Islam and alchemy. Alchemical episodes in the works of great figures of Eastern Sufi literature like Al-Ghazali, Suhrawardy, Ibn Arabi and Rumi have been scrutinized. Keywords: alchemy, metal transmutation, immortality, Sufi literature, Azerbaijani literary school, religious mysticism.

  • The Alexander Romance in the Persian Tradition: Its Influence on Persian History, Epic and Storytelling
    The Alexander Romance in the Persian Tradition: Its Influence on Persian History, Epic and Storytelling Submitted by Haila Manteghi Amin to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics in January 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……Haila Manteghi Amin……….. 1 Abstract This study aims to explore how the Alexander Romance entered the Persian literary tradition and to understand precisely its influence. The main question addressed is whether the Alexander Romance was part of the pre-Islamic Persian tradition and, if so, what its key characteristics were. Because of the dearth of pre-Islamic Persian sources, this thesis is necessarily mostly based on early Arabic and Persian sources written in the early Islamic period, some of which were derived from pre-Islamic traditions. Aside from the Shāhnāma of Firdawsī, the Arabic histories (Ṭabarī, Dinawarī, the anonymous Nihāyat al-‘arab, the Ghurar al-Sayr of Thaʻālibī) included Alexander in their chapters on the Kayānid kings, presenting him as the half-brother of Dārā (Darius III). My examination of these histories largely focuses on their understanding of the Persian descent of Alexander, which is derived from the Sasanian Khudāynāmag. Most scholars have looked askance at the presence of a positive perspective on Alexander in the Persian world because the Zoroastrian tradition usually presented him as a cursed figure and one of Persia’s worst enemies.
