Firstly, the founder of the family – a famous political figure, scholar-theologian, major trader Abu Nasr Mubashshir at-Tarazi (1897–1978), who was an active participant and direct witness to many events of the 1910–1920s in Central Asia. Secondly, he and members of his large family, particularly his son Nasrallah at-Tarazi (1922–2002), made their feasible contribution to the development of friendly relations between Central Asian countries with Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, raising its image in the Muslim world. Finally, it is a subtle channel for communicating new development trends and changes that are taking place in the Muslim world.

Results and novelty of the research: A comparative study of texts extracted by Vladimir G. Tiesenhausen in 1884, with their new editions, presented the following picture: one group of publications represents academic editions with quality translations, accompanied by professionally executed commentaries. Another part of the sources was published based on one part of existing copies. As practice shows, sometimes the older and complete copies of published works remained out of coverage in such publications; their existing editions are not taken into account. The third group of sources is composed of works that remain in manuscript form to the present day. One such work – “al-‘Aylam al-zakhir fi akhbar al-awa’il wa-l-aw...

Under Sayyid Umar Khan (1810–1822), to construct their sacred genealogy, they used the genealogical line of the Central Asian descendants of Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya (d. 700–701), the third son of Caliph ‘Ali (656–661). It is known that the origin of the eponym of the Sufi brotherhood of Yasawiya, Ahmad Yasawi (died in 1166–1167), also belongs to this line. Such a cultural policy and practice of the authorities in the territories subject to the Kokand Khanate in the 19th century led to the formation and existence of a new range of concepts, rituals, ceremonies, norms in the political, social, cultural life of the region. As Professor Devin DeWeis has established, in medieval Central Asia, sometimes the shajara (tree of biological origin) of a certain person could be perceived as his silsila (chain of spiritual succession) in Sufism. Written sources that appeared in the era of Kokand dominance, late phenomena and manifestations of spiritual life, in the absence of a critical attitude, can be perceived as old traditions coming from medieval history, the very origins of the history of the Sufi brotherhood Yasawiya.

Among the little-studied historical processes, which were under way in Kazakhstan, could be mentioned: (1) the interaction of Muslim and Russian (Orthodox) civilizations; (2) the awakening of the followers of the traditional Islamic school; (3) the initiation and dissemination of the ideas of Islamic modernism (Jadidism) and Islamic fundamentalism (Salafism) in local Muslim communities etc. However the use of well-known Russian official documents as the main and only sources for new investigations could lead to one-sided conclusions, as that was shown in the well-known review by Prof. Devin DeWeese.

It was organized and conducted by IRCICA in cooperation with R. B. Suleimenov Institute of Oriental Studies of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty in March 2017.
The first chapter includes articles by leading researchers of Kazakhstan in the field of studying the monuments of Islamic civilization in the Aral-Caspian region. The main focus is on the identification, registration, and primary study of new centers, where inscriptions in Arabic script are concentrated. Heuristic studies have helped to identify about 400 memorial and cult complexes, where monuments of Islamic epigraphy have been preserved. The articles set further tasks for the in-depth study, preservation and preparation for publication of these sources on the history of Islamic civilization in the region.
Articles on the study of newly discovered written sources on the history of Islamic civilization in the Great Steppe makes up the second chapter. The new material that is extracted from them is of interest for research in the fields of Islamic history, archeology, sphragistics, diplomacy, folklore, and manuscript heritage.
The third chapter contains articles on several areas of the historiography of Kazakhstan and Central Asia, which were studied by the famous Kazakh scholar Timur Kasymovich Beisembiev (1955–2016). Of particular interest are the works on the history and culture of the Kokand Khanate (1710–1876). At the end of the book, there are descriptions of the private archive of Dr. Beisembiev, who devoted his whole life to collecting, classifying and studying written sources on the history and culture of Islamic civilization in the Great Steppe, particularly in the Kokand historiography.
