"Groups of people are emerging who see nothing but material gain. For them, there is no other measure of value! Sometimes I wonder: in another 15-20 years, if you talk to them about Beruni, Ulugbek, or Navoi, they will undoubtedly say, 'If they lived in the past, so be it. What benefit are they to me?' I might be exaggerating when I say 10-15 years from now.  In fact, this calamity has already begun. The death of pride is a terrible thing; it dries up a person's roots."

   The above words from Eshqobil Shukur's recent article are increasingly becoming our reality day by day. Today, along with the pursuit of material wealth, people in our society are gradually losing their spiritual wealth. The presence of enlightened individuals around us, who are passionately dedicated to the nation, striving to immortalize their memory, and attempting to preserve their mature works from the ravages of time, always serves as a stimulus, rekindling and maintaining the flickering flame in our hearts.

   One such person is Akram Malik, a scholar who, despite his youth, is trying to understand Navoi's work and is doing great things for his young head. Today, February 4, the presentation of Akrom Malik's commentary on the epic "Hayrat ul-Abror" was held.

  The event "Hey friend! Come, free yourself for a moment from the sorrows of the world, the sorrows of life and death!"

  The presentation was opened by Professor, Doctor of Philological Sciences Nurboy Jabborov, who compared Navoi's work to "Durri yatim" and expressed the deep meanings of Navoi's work in the following lines.

• A drop of mother-of-pearl,
• The people have found a way out.

    The author of the commentary book on the epic "Hayrat ul-Abror," Akram Malik, gave brief information about this book and the work of Navoi.

   The play "Demand Owners," staged by director Farokhiddin Mas'ud based on the 10th article of "Hayrat ul-Abror," once again demonstrated the high level of Navoi's creativity.

  Professor Abdumurod Tilavov delivered a lecture on the views of Hazrat Alisher Navoi on the upbringing of the soul and the purification of the soul.

  Suvon Meli, a prominent representative of Uzbek literary studies, Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor, who has only 3 days to read the book and is not indifferent to Navoi's work, speaks about the features and peculiarities of the commentary on "Hayrat ul-Abror."

     How much there is a need today for works such as "Hayrat ul-Abror." We should not only imitate foreign countries, but also deeply study our own history and literature. Abror Mukhtar Ali spoke bitterly about the gradual disappearance of a nation that did not know its history. Also, the times and individuals who wanted to condemn Navoi's work were compared to a goat trying to knock down a rock.

  Hasan Khan Yahya Abdul Majid, who spoke about the influence of the Quran on Alisher Navoi's work, described Navoi's work as follows: "Coming a poem to Navoi is like chopping pistachios."

  At the end of the presentation, the Quran was recited in memory of Navoi, and the author of the commentary book "Hayrat ul-Abror" shared his books with all interested people.
