The topics concerning the Islamic faith that Abai raised in his poems during a given period will be determined and on the basis of these topics an analysis of the beliefs of the great thinker will be carried out. An attempt will also be made to show the roots of Abai's beliefs coming from the sacred texts of Islam - Koran and Sunnah. Additionally, a comparison will be made with views of other Islamic scholars in the field of aqida. Expecially those in the Hanafi and Matrudi scholars, to identify any deviations in interpretations. Also the sources of his belief system will that served as the basis for Abai's religious beliefs will also be established. The study concentrates on these two aspects of beliefs on which Abay expressed his opinion in poetry, since other issues of faith in Allah and acceptance of Him as the only primary source of good and evil are not explicitly described, but are only mentioned in his poems. The foundations of Abai's religious beliefs have also been established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
