This article is based on the personal author's materials, where she has found out and settled manuscript evidences of Sufi people, which hadn't been documented before.

Analyzing the works of such poets as Ikany, Huvaydo, Amdamy, some fairy-tales and dastans (recorded by V.V. Radulov), the author explores mythological synopsis as the basis of branched system of mythological plots in the Sufi Siberian Tatar literature on the ground of dhikr. The author analyzes the inner worldview transformation of Sufi Ikany, who came to the Siberian bogs and forests from Arabian sands to prove perishable nature of all the material in front of the spirit.

Summary
Being esthetically and educationally valuable, the medieval literary monuments arouse a certain interest in the terms of both science and history. In the XIX century in this region there were the libraries, where were kept numerous ancient editions, brought from Bukhara, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and other Muslim countries. This is the result of interaction between them. Analysis of Sufi poets’ works, written in Arabic graphics mostly in handwritten form, shows that Karagayskye Jurts of Tobolsk region were “the stronghold of Sufism”, “the center of Muslim region”, some kind of “the residence of Siberian-Tatar or Siberian Bukhar Hadji” anyhow connected with the congregation of Naqshbandi The Sufi philosophy of Naqshbandi is based on classical theology “wahdat ash-shuhud”, stated by Ahmad al-FarnjqƯ al-SirhindƯ (1564̽1624), one of its spiritual founder, asAllah is the Creator of all things (Sayfulina et al, 2013)
