Abstract

This article analyzes the discrepancies found in historical and literary sources regarding the personal life, name, date of birth, patronymic, and place of birth of Sufi Allahyor, a prominent representative of the 17th–18th century Transoxiana Sufi literature. The study comparatively examines historical and source-based works such as "Risolai Aziza", "Tuhfatul ahbob", "Maxazinut taqvo", "Hidoyat ut-tolibin", as well as the views of contemporary literary scholars and textologists. As a result, certain incorrect and speculative views concerning the biography of Sufi Allahyor have been re-evaluated on a source-based foundation.
