RELIGIOUS MOTIFS IN MODERN AVAR POETRY

Abstract

The article shows the process of returning to the Avar poetry of a high spiritual beginning as a positive result of profound changes in the political, economic, spiritual life of society. Explaining the close attention of modern Avar poets to the search for the foundations of Islam, the rudiments of faith in their souls, by the fact that the precepts of Islam contain the idea of the unity of peoples, the Muslim Ummah, which is especially attractive when society and the usual way of life are collapsing, the authors come to the conclusion that in modern poetry there is a revival of the mission of Islam as an intermediary connecting earthly life with divine revelations; on the wave of high poetry, they contribute to the return to the Avar poetry of that spiritual, esoteric beginning, which it was deprived of for almost the entire twentieth century; the life of the poetic soul in their works is thoroughly illuminated by a high spiritual principle, a deep understanding of the role of the Creator in the movement of the laws of Being, the unity and interconnectedness of the worlds, comprehensible and incomprehensible; the motives of the religious principle play a significant role in the insight of a person and the whole society.
