PHILOSOPHICAL PARALLELS IN THE EPIC "MANAS" AND THE ISLAMIC RELIGION

Abstract

It can be noted that the nomadic culture was free and humane from the point of view of religion. Before the religion of Islam became the state ideology of nomadic peoples, prominent representatives of Buddhism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism freely spread their religious beliefs. Therefore, such processes contributed to the influx of religious movements in Central Asia. Although Buddhism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, and Islamic culture have historically overlapped with nomadic civilization, the question arises as to what factor influenced their acceptance or rejection of religious beliefs. And when Islam penetrates into the Kyrgyz environment, two great cultures merge into one. There will be a scientific analysis and objective assessment of why Islam is given priority and the factors that play a big role in its adoption.
