This article analyzes “Kutadgu Bilig” by Yusuf Khos Khajib from a religious perspective. Kutadgu Bilig, being the oldest monument of Islamic literature, is considered a didactic poem in the tradition of “mirrors for princes”. It consists primarily of dialogue placed within a framed story. The language of the work is technically called Karakhanid, or Central Turkish. The language spoken in the Orkhon region of Mongolia, dating back to the eighth century, is the same as the language used in Turkic stone inscriptions.
