Abstract

At present, one of the most pressing problems in religious studies is the emergence of religious cults, the spread of their teachings and the attraction of people to their ranks. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ismatullah movement has been actively spreading its religious teachings in order to gather its followers. In the article, the concepts of dhikr and spirit discussed in the main works of the Ismatullah religious movement are explained by means of a hermeneutic and comparative analysis with the concepts of dhikr and spirit contained in the Holy Qur'an and the work of K.A. Yassawi. Using the theological, comparative-historical method, the author describes the principles, areas of dissemination and activities of the Ismatullah school of thought.
