The Kazakh Poet Meshur Jusip Kopeyuli’s Sainthood and Miracles

Meshur Jusip made a great contribution to various parts of science, such as Kazakh literature, civilization history, and ethnography, and left a rich legacy to the next generation arising from his pen. The poet Meshur Jusip was able to put forward meaningful ideas based on his life experience and instinct. The Sufi defended Islamic civilization and its spiritual values and saw reason and science as a means for people to know Allah (s.w.t). It is known that the eye of the heart of the Awliya Meshur Jusip, who believes that Allah (s.w.t) is the only one and that our Prophet (pbuh) is the messenger of Allah, was open. The poet Meshur Jusip Kopeyulı combined scientific and religious knowledge in his works and contributed to the correct understanding and spread of Islam in Kazakh lands. The poet acted with his pure heart and mental feelings and reflected the foundations of Sharia in his works. The religious works of the Sufi Meshur Jusip Kopeyulı remained on the dusty shelves of the archives for almost a century without being captured by anyone. In the following 20 years, Meshur Jusip Kopeyulı’s name turned into a legendary hero name and his miracles were mostly mentioned. However, after the independence of Kazakhstan, the people regained the original words of the poet.
