Annotation: In this article, the interpretation of the famous Sufi Mansur al-Hallaj, a figure that has sparked numerous debates in the history of Sufism, in Navoi's works is discussed. The article aims to explore the relationship between Mansur al-Hallaj and Navoi, as well as the historical and fateful aspects of their connection, through an objective scholarly approach. Classical sources and commentaries on the history and theory of Sufism, along with the interpretation of Hallaj's character in Navoi's prose works, serve as the stylistic basis for the study. The main source of the article is the story of Hallaj in Navoi's epic "Lison ut-Tayr" (The Language of the Birds). This story is compared with the tale of Hallaj in Attar's "Mantiq ut-Tayr" (The Conference of the Birds), and the differences in the Sufi perspectives of Attar and Navoi are examined. Through the character of Hallaj, Navoi interprets the moderate Sufi views characteristic of the Naqshbandi order.
