Abstract

The peculiarity of the Kazakh worldview is the absence of atheistic consciousness. Kazakhs have always believed in the all-pervading God. This is reflected in words and phrases, the language unit. The phraseology "Watching God" means knowing the creator. According to the Greek thinker Pratogor, man is only a measurement of the whole being not to the earth. The meanings of this axiom, man is the line between being and non-being, known and unknown. Therefore He confirms the existing, denying non-existence. In the Kazakh worldview, this basic axiom reflects the proverb "You know nine, but you do not know ninety-nine." In connection with this thought, the Kazakh about the unspeakable says: "One God knows." This fundamental concept protects the Kazakh people from arrogance, tyranny, sternness, which adheres to the idea "it is called, it is solved, cut off", helps to resist the limits of its capabilities. And it is for this reason that an authoritarian state in the Kazakh society does not exist on the basis of totalitarian thinking. Secondly, for the Kazakh religious worldview for the Creator all nations and nations are equal, they do not differ from each other by a special position or status. At the heart of this principle is the notion that all mankind belongs to Adam and Eve. Kazakh thinker Mashur Yusup believes that this concept is one of the basic conditions for being a Muslim. This opinion is confirmed by the hadith: "All people are born Muslims, and then their parents turn one of these children into Christians, and the other - Jews and others - into pagans. If the religious personality of people is determined for religious reasons, then his religion is not righteous. In our time, many conflicts arise because of religious, racist and linguistic differences. Many warring people can not correctly interpret the foundations and principles of different religions. In his works, the great thinker Abai is based on the hadeeth: "Every reasonable person should believe, and every believer has his own worship." According to Abai, a person must find faith with a clear mind, which is the basis of religion. The main condition of faith is the mind. If a person is not intelligent or mentally retarded from birth, he does not have to be a believer. If a person who does not understand the reason for the faith of his worship is not considered complete. The role of the mind in the knowledge of God, in the existence of man is defined in the Kazakh proverb: "If God punishes a person, deprives him of his mind." The most important feature of understanding the religion of the Kazakh people is their internal content, and not an external form
