Muhammad Fuzuli

One of the great and noble poets in the Near East, Muhammad Fuzuli was born in the city of Karbela. Fuzuli's poems were very famous in European libraries. Fuzuli poetry is widely spread not only in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iraq, Central Asia, but also in Russia and western countries.

Fuzuli is a well-known Turkish origin of the Bayat tribe. According to some reports, Muhammad's father, Suleiman, moved to Iraq from Iraq's Arash region. Later, the poet's son Fazli returned to Erice and lived with his close relatives. He has gained fame with his sophistication here. Fuzuli was well educated. And the researchers who consider it, think that the poet's father was a wealthy man. Likewise, living in cities like Halea and Karbala, which is considered to be a sanctuary, testifies to Solomon's spirituality. Indeed, there is a narration that Fuzuli's father was Mufti of Halea.

In the 11th century, after the occupation of Iraq by the Seljuks and later by the Mongols and Teymurilar, the number of Turks in Baghdad and its surroundings increased gradually. This situation continues in the future. In 1508, Shah Ismail joined the party in Baghdad solemnly, connecting Iraq to Azerbaijan, and in 1534, this city was part of the Ottoman Empire for a long time. Thus, the first period of life and creativity of Fuzuli fell to the years in which Iraqi-Arabs were subject to the Safavid rule.

Fuzuli took his first education in Karbala and continued in Baghdad. He lived in Najaf and Hulla in Iraq for some time. He has studied Greek philosophy based on medieval sciences (logic, medicine, nepotism, mathematics and humanities), especially religious philosophical movements, Arabic translations, learned classical Turkish, Arabic, Persian and Indian literature.

He did not show up at the palace, despite his dedication to Shah Ismayil Khataya, to Shah Tahmasib and his superiors, to some governors and khanans.

Sultan Suleiman, who presented a few texts, met with the Turkish poets Khaled and Yahya Bey, who came to Baghdad with the army of Fuzuli, and wrote the works of Leyli and Majnun (1537) on the request of these artists.

Fuzuli has three languages: ghazal, qesiad, maid, composition, translator, rübai, continent, mürəbbe, etc. wrote. The works of philosophical essay, "Seven Cam", "Enisul-qalb", "Sahhat and Mərəz" are products of the old age. He collected his tales as a workbook and drew up the couch in Turkish, Persian and Arabic languages.

The poem "Leyli and Majnun", which is the peak of its creativity, is one of the rare pearls of Azerbaijan as well as the East and the World Poetry. Although written by Nizami Ganjavi for the first time, Leyli and Majnun, written by many Turkish, Persian, Indian, Uzbek and Tajik poets, the essay created by Fuzuli in his mother tongue is chosen from poems written earlier on this subject.

Fuzuli was acquainted with ancient Greek and Eastern philosophy. His philosophical views were reflected in the Arabic-language prose, "The Truthfulness of Faith". Fuzuli was influenced by the views of Aristotle, Plato, Empedocle, Democritus and other Greek philosophers, most of which were philosophical heritage of Nizami. Other works of Fuzuli are also based on literary philosophical ideas.

After Fuzuli Nasimi's work, which was one of the finest examples of poetry in our mother tongue, brought literary and artistic language to new heights, had a strong influence on the poetry of classical Azerbaijan and other Turkic peoples and created a literary school. His works have been repeatedly published in Tabriz, Baku, Istanbul, Ankara, Cairo, Tashkent, Bukhara and Ashgabat, and have been highly appreciated by world orientalists.

Muhammad Fuzuli died of diarrhea in 963, miladi calendar in 1556 in Karbala, where he was buried.

The 400th anniversary of the poet's death was celebrated worldwide. His works were collected and published in five volumes on the basis of the oldest copies.
