The center of the Turkestan region, Turkestan is the spiritual capital of Kazakhstan. It contains the tomb of Aziret Sultan Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. The famous Emir Timur expressed his passion for the saint by means of a giant mausoleum. As time went on, however, the respect for Yasawi's faithful spiritual activity was not weakened. Although there were various struggles against the Yassawi teaching, his love for him continued to grow. The built mausoleum is explored in detail both in architecture and in other aspects. It is time-consuming to discover the meaning of Arabic inscriptions on the mausoleum. There are historical dates, verses and hadiths in the writings, various historical dates and names. The verses are given in Arabic, transcript and meaning in the Kazakh language. It is noted that many articles are still being published on the subject of the inscriptions in the Khoja Ahmed Yasawi Mausoleum, and they have a bearing on the spiritual life of the community.
