Abstract

After accepting the Islamic religion, it is impossible for the Turks to abandon their traditions, customs and ancient civilizations and life completely and to leave the Islamic civilization and society without any influence. After the Turks accepted Islam, they synthesized Islamic principles with their old religious beliefs, and the madrasa based on high-level scientific principles brought about a new understanding of Islam called the Turkish people's understanding of Islam, apart from Islam. There are great parallels between the social, political and daily life practices of the ancient Turks that we can follow both from the stone books and from the Chinese sources and from the Seljuk revolutionary Turkish folk culture. The desire of the Turks to reach Tengri, while bringing the old shrine to the river, continued to turn into a mystic if it was new. Moreover, it attracts attention because it is a national choice, because the Turks; in many religious systems they have entered, they have shown a great desire to reach the Divine. In doing so, they used different cultural instruments and rituals. Among the shamanist beliefs that emerged in the later period was a special place to believe in fear, nightmares, fortune, lyrical, believing in nature powers, ancestors, stone, water and other powers.
