Religious tradition in medieval Turkish literature

Abstract

This article is about the influence of medieval Turkic literature on the Kazakh literature of
the 19th century. It is known that the task of making broad and complex distinctions in the direction of the
poetic, historical and spiritual continuity of the Kazakh poetry of the 19th century with medieval Turkic
literary monuments is now becoming a branch of Kazakh literary criticism. The works of representatives
of medieval Turkish literature Yusuf Balasaguni, Mahmud al-Kashgari, Khoja Ahmed Yassawi and their
influence on Kazakh literature were noted.
Due to the fact that the research directions of the history of Kazakh literature were mainly formed
and established in the Soviet period, the religious foundations of the literary heritage have always been
evaluated in negative and negative directions, which had a significant negative impact on the recognition
of heritage on a purely scientific basis. The process of assimilation of the deeply rooted spiritual heritage
of the Turkic-speaking tribes into Islam in the scope of historical and artistic prerequisites began to be
comprehensively studied in the next forty years.
However, it becomes obvious that the significance of the literary heritage in revealing the place of
Islamic culture in Kazakh spirituality is recognized in the direction of a comprehensive study.
The influence of Turkic literature on the Kazakh literature of the 19th century was considered by
differentiating the works of Sufi literature and Khoja Ahmet Yassawi.
In the 19th century, the tradition of qissa, nazira created a significant creative field in the formation of
an exegetical tradition - an explanation of the foundations of religion in the Kazakh steppe. The beginning
of the exegetical tradition in the Kazakh literature of the 19th century is the history of the formation of
the Islamic religion in the Kazakh land, the historical situation of a particular period, the problem of the
availability of Islamic literature in the field of spirituality. in the Kazakh steppe, etc. This is due to dozens
of historical, social and political factors.
