Özet: Cenknâmeler are literary products which hold an important place in Turkish-Islamic history regardless of their sect, height and tribe. These literary works, which were started to be created after the Turks entered Islam, undertook social duties such as creating unity in the people and creating a national historical consciousness. Therefore, it is usually written in plain language for the public to understand. The enemies of Hazret-i Ali were generally non-Muslim peoples, but sometimes there were extraordinary beings such as giant and gin. In these works Hz. Ali and his family were idealized and they were advised to be moral, virtuous and good people. According to both Sunni akaide and Alevi akaide, Hz. Ali cenknâmeleri occupies an important place in Anatolian culture as well as in other Turkish tribes. The main reason for this is that after the Turks became Muslims, Ahl-i Beyte, Hz. Ali and Hz. Hüseyin'e has given too much value. These literary products that create historical consciousness in the Anatolian geography, create mysticism in the people and keep the people together have been explained in other geographies where Turks have lived. In Kazakhstan, one of these geographies, such epic narratives were passed on from one generation to the next in the 19th century. However, these narratives were banned, compiled forbidden and compilers were kept under surveillance due to the policies of the USSR that were established as a result of the tsarist Russia and the October Revolution after this century. Arabic letters were banned by Russian governments and Cyrillic letters were taught to the public. As a result of these policies, missionaries of the USSR made translations of the Christian praise among the people.
