Abstract

Abstract. The Turks accepted Islam not only in its external form, but also together with its rich spiritual and cultural world, integrating it into the local identity. In this process, the teachings of the outstanding figure, the founder of Turkic Sufism Khoja Ahmed Yasawi play a special role. His teachings are a harmonious synthesis of the Turkic worldview and the Islamic religion. Thanks to this teaching, the Turkic peoples accepted Islam in accordance with their mentality and spiritual traditions. Yasawi’s teachings are considered not only as a religious trend, but also as a cultural, philosophical and social phenomenon. This article analyzes the place of Yasawi’s teachings in Turkic Islam, its features and influence.
