The worldview, religion and language, culture and history of any nation are closely connected with folklore. Folklore is a huge branch of national spiritual and cultural wealth, which has been passed down from generation to generation along with the nature of the national character. The riddle is inextricably linked with the life of the folk and helps to learn the encoded information in the memory of the people. A riddle is a part of folklore, a guessing game, a creation of the mind that dates back to ancient times. Over many centuries, the external substantive nature of the riddle has changed, but its subject, internal content has not lost the relevance of the study. Riddles of a religious nature, on the one hand, reflect the history of the development of folk culture, on the other hand, reflect the traditional worldview feature. The main purpose of the article is the theological study of Kazakh and English riddles, that is, the study of the role of religion in history and culture through religious riddles. The search for similarities between the Islamic Koran and the biblical plot in riddles is considered one of the main tasks of the topic. Considering the riddles in the English and Kazakh languages, which is the relevance of the research topic, from the religious aspect contributes to a deeper understanding of the national worldview of people and teaches critical thinking. Interpretation of religious riddles in Kazakh and English languages, which differ in religion and language, is directly related to ethnocultural features. Therefore, in the future, the study of riddles of a religious nature from different angles will undoubtedly be of interest not only for philologists, but also for anthropologists and theologians, ethnologists and culturologists, humanitarians in general.
