Abstract

The cultural uplift in Central Asia in the 9th–12th centuries contributed to the flourishing of literary creativity in Arabic in such regions as Mavaraunnahr and Khorezm (the territories of pre-sent-day Uzbekistan). The article discusses the contribution of the great scientist, philologist and writer Makhmud al-Zamakhshari to the development of Arabic literature. Through the example of his work “Maqams by al-Zamakhshari” the author demonstrates what role this well-known monu-ment of Arabic literature played in the development of spiritual and social thought and aesthetic consciousness of the peoples of the Muslim East. Maqams of Imam al-Zamakhshari, conveying the ideological and aesthetic ideals of their time, contributed to the education of a true Muslim, his im-provement within the framework of Islamic values, which largely coincide with the moral and ethi-cal values developed on the basis of the life experience of mankind.
