Abstract

Abstract. The article analyzes the moral and ethical principles in the wisdom of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and the epigraphy of "Taikazan", and considers their relationship. The legacy of Yasawi constitutes the spiritual and ethical basis of the Turkic-Muslim civilization, promoting the inner perfection of man, justice and goodness. The epigraphic inscriptions of "Taikazan" reflect Islamic values and ethical norms in society. The article identifies common axiological principles in these two cultural and spiritual legacies, analyzes their socio-cultural role in society. The article also considers the significance of Yasawi's teachings in modern Kazakh society and the extent to which his ethical standards meet modern requirements. In addition, the article considers the relationship of the "Nauryz" holiday with the wisdom of Yasawi and the inscriptions of "Taikazan". Nauryz is a holiday glorifying such values as unity, peace, generosity and spiritual renewal. These principles are also reflected in the teachings of Yasawi and the epigraphy of "Taikazan". The principles of spiritual purification, mercy, patience and sincerity in the heritage of Yasawi are consonant with the essence of the holiday "Nauryz". The wisdom of Yasawi and the epigraphy of "Taikazan" are of great importance in the revival of spiritual and moral values in modern society. These legacies play an important role in the upbringing and ethical education of youth, promoting such principles as justice, honesty, kindness and spiritual purity.
