ABSTRACT ADİLBAYEVA, Şamşat; "The Role Of Hadith And Sunnah İn Religious Life Of Kazakstan Society." (Advisor: Prof. Dr. İ. Hakkı Ünal) Hadith and Sunnah, which are the second main source of İslam coming right after the Holy Qur'an, have had a great effect on İslam accepted societies. The most straightforward example of it can be seen in the first muslim society, where before İslam, giving birth to daughter was disgrace, where lawful family relations were upset and where alcoholic beveages, gambling and interest have totally choked the whole society. However, after acceptance of İslam, the society under the guidance of Prophet Muhammed, has became as good as it could be stated as the example society for the whole world. Consequently, like the first muslim society, Kazakstan that accepted İslam undoubtedly has experienced its positive effects. Therefore, this work, consisting of introduction and four different parts, was carried out in order to investigate the role of hadith and sunnah on changes in the religious life of Kazakstan society. In introduction part, in addition to consideration of dictionary and technical meanings of hadith and sunnah, the place and the importance of both in İslam were presented. In the first part, in the sake of better understanding of hadith and sunnah importance, the revolutions performed by Prophet Muhammed in the first muslim society were discussed. These revolutions were carefully studied under such topics as: Social relations, transition from tribal to religious society, revolution in Education, Revolution in Administration, Social justice and Economic orders. In the second part, pre-İslamic life and changes occured in postislamic period were discussed under two topics, pre-İslamic kazak society postislamic kazak society.
