The adoption of different religions by nations affects their lifestyles, languages and cultures. Turks have lived in different geographies and interacted with different nations since they appeared on the stage of history. This interaction was also reflected in their religions, and it was seen that they adopted different religions in different periods. Along with the religions they adopted, they translated important works about those religions and wrote independent works. The adoption of Islam also affected their culture, language and literature; they gave examples of religious literature.
The work we are studying should be considered as an example of religious literature. The work has a religious content as it includes verses and hadiths, important figures of Islam and hadith scholars. The text, consisting of 193 varays registered in the National Library of France (Paris Bibliotheque Nationale) with the number 1315, is a work written in Eastern Turkish.
