The article is devoted to the topic of the concept of safar (“travel”) in the Sufi sources of Transoxiana of the 16th century, on the example of manakibs, or the Lives of Saints. The importance of research on this topic lies in determining the place of traveling in religious traditions of Sufism. In addition, the relevance of the topic is due to insufficient study of the issues of semantic interpretation of the concept safar (“travel”) in Sufi writings. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to disclose the various meanings of the concept of traveling, contained in Sufi writings. The main method in the study of this issue is the historical and comparative method, and the method of literary analysis, which allow creating a holistic view of the traveling-related themes in the Sufi writings of Transoxiana of the 16th century.
