This article addresses a significant and underexplored problem in comparative literary studies the universal character of the apocalyptic tradition across Western and Eastern literature. Despite extensive theological, and poetic scholarship devoted to both texts, their systematic conformity to the formal conventions of the classical apocalyptic genre has not been subjected to comparative analysis. The study aims to fill this gap by conducting a genre-typological examination of Dante Alighieriʼs “The Divine Comedy” and Abdulla Oripovʼs “Path to paradise” through the six defining criteria of the apocalyptic genre as theorized by F. Lücke and K. Koch: authoritative narrator, visionary imagery, mediating figure, cosmic dualism, numerical coding, and cognitive transformation. The theoretical framework is further informed by the contributions of J.J. Collins, P.D. Hanson, D. Hellholm, and G.L. Linton, whose refinements to genre theory allow for cross-cultural application of the apocalyptic model beyond its original biblical context. The findings establish that, despite their distinct cultural and religious frameworks both poems function as transformative revelations directed at humanityʼs moral and spiritual regeneration. These conclusions offer a theoretical basis for further genre-typological research into the relationships between Uzbek classical poetry and world literature.
