This article examines the place of Shashmaqom, which has deep roots in the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, from Sufi, philosophical, and aesthetic perspectives. The main aim of the study is to interpret Shashmaqom not merely as a musical performance, but also as a system of spiritual and educational values, thereby reviving young people’s interest in it. Through the ghazal of the poet Zavqi — “Revealing Your Face, first You made slaves unto Yourself” — such Sufi concepts as al-Mīthāq (the primordial covenant), divine love, and spiritual servitude are explained. The symbolic connection between maqam scales and prophetic metaphors is revealed, while the spiritual-philosophical nature of the “Girya” genre is analyzed, highlighting its role as a means of moral and spiritual education. The research underlines that the transmission of Shashmaqom to younger generations is an important factor in the preservation of national and moral heritage.
