The arrival of Islam in the Kazakh steppe caused new spiritual and cultural transformations. The conversion of Turkic tribes to Islam began in different ways. It was first realized as a result of trade routes through the Kazakh steppes, political alliances and activities of individuals. During the years when the Kipchaks gained great political power in the Eurasian region, the land of Desht-i-Kipchak became the centre of widespread of Islam. Of course, it was difficult for the Kipchaks to find any other religion in demand when their traditional religious faith prevails. However, the Kipchaks’ attention to Islam and interest in it contributed to their becoming Muslims. The question of what character and specifics of Islam gained authority among the Kipchaks still requires new conclusions. Because many researchers associate the interest of the Kipchaks in Islam with political connotations. However, the problem of links and similarities between the traditional religious knowledge of the Kipchaks and Islam remains unnoticed. The purpose of the research is to identify the traditional religious knowledge of the Kipchaks in the Syr Darya and analyse its features with an assessment of its relationship with the Islamic religion. In the article, the problem of features of religious knowledge of the Kipchaks in the Syr Darya region is considered in detail based on historical data, and its own conclusions are drawn on this issue.
