Life
Qodiriy was born in Tashkent on 10 April 1894, the son of Qodirbobo, who was 74 at his birth; after menial jobs a merchant hired him as a book copier, and he turned to writing in the mid-1910s 1. The Russian article records that he studied first at a Muslim school in 1904–1906 and then at a Russian-native school 2. He wrote under several pen names, the most renowned being Julqunboy, and his early works were influenced by the Jadid movement 1. He was briefly arrested in 1926 over his article "Yigʻindi gaplar", later protected by the Uzbek party leader Akmal Ikramov, and exposed again by Ikramov's arrest in 1937 1.
Work and death
His historical novels Oʻtgan kunlar (Bygone Days, 1922) — the first full-length novel by an Uzbek author — and Mehrobdan chayon (Scorpion in the Pulpit, 1929) made his reputation, alongside satirical stories and plays 1. Arrested again on 31 December 1937 as an enemy of the people, he was executed at Tashkent on 4 October 1938; the Uzbek article states that he was executed together with like-minded colleagues including Choʻlpon and Abdurauf Fitrat 1 3.
Faith
No source read names a school or order for Qodiriy: the Uzbek infobox records Islam in general, the English and Russian infoboxes carry no religion field, and Wikidata records no religion value 3 4. His Muslim-school attendance is formation and the Jadid influence on his early work a movement descriptor. His faith segment is therefore recorded as unknown under the two-source rule.
