To what extent was the development of Islam associated with the Golden Horde? What way of life did our ancestors have? The program also reflects the biography of historical figures that have made a huge contribution to the development of Islamic civilization.

In addition, the program touched upon the following topics: what has changed in history with the colonization of the Kazakh steppe by the Russian Empire and what have we lost with the advent of the Soviet Union? What changes did our nation undergo during those difficult times? Features in the life of our ancestors were highlighted.

Since the topic of the program touched upon the connection of times, the assessment of the current state of Islam and its development in Kazakhstan were considered separately.
