Abstract

This article examines the "Words of Wisdom" of the great figure of the Kazakh
people, Abai, as well as the philosophical ideas contained in these works. Abai's «Words of
Wisdom» are one of the most valuable legacies of Kazakh literature and philosophy. His works
contain deep philosophical reflections and thoughts on moral values. In his «Words of Wisdom»,
the poet not only criticizes negative traits such as ignorance, envy, laziness, and immorality but
also calls for education, self-improvement, and the pursuit of honesty and justice. Abai explains
that the meaning of life lies not in external wealth but in the purity of one's inner world and
knowledge. Thus, Abai urges each individual to reflect on themselves and strive for selfperfection. Abai's «Words of Wisdom» have great philosophical and moral significance. This work
is aimed not only at the development of the individual but also at raising the moral level of society
as a whole and strengthening moral qualities. The article analyzes the importance and relevance of
Abai's deep reflections on life, love, time, and the meaning of human existence.
