    Abstract

    Views of Tengriism in Kitabi-Dede Korkut essentially means studying the spiritual
    precedents of our ancient history. This process also takes into account the unique approach of the
    Ancestor to goodness, justice and truth, which comes from Nature and is born from the interpretation of things in Nature. In the primitive mythological memory, everything is alive, the Turkish man - Echdat can give his own meanings to what he sees around him, and can implement them in life according to his worldview. The best expression of this process in Turkish thought is the epic. The epic tradition preserves traces of Tengriism in a mature form. These traces are manifested in every moment of his life.
    The article examines the traces of Tengriism in Kitabi-Dede Korkut, reveals issues related to the Islamic religion, and makes the necessary scientific conclusions.
