Abstract

The article is dedicated to the scientific and sufi legacy of Khoja Muhammad Porso (1349–1420) at the end of the 14th century, as well as his significant contribution to the development of the Naqshbandi tariqa. The author analyzes Khoja Muhammad Porso’s main work – Fasl al-Khitab, examining the sources of the hadiths and their role in Islamic scholarship. The article compares it with Imam Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi’s Sunan al-Tirmidhi, highlighting Khoja Muhammad Porso’s methodology in hadith studies and his scholarly approach. It is also emphasized that Khoja Muhammad Porso’s scientific heritage holds great importance not only in Sufism but also in Islamic sciences, including hadith studies and theology (kalam). The article aims to deepen the understanding of the theoretical foundations of the Naqshbandi tariqa and its place in contemporary scholarship.
