Speaking at the presentation, translator, essayist and abaeved Fathullo Azizov noted the high standard of the status of the book, calling it a school of humanity.
An artistic, social, humanistic and religious beliefs deeply felt in Abai's work of black or edification words. Abai words (Ghaqliya) - the great poet's art and artistic power, wisdom, philosophy outlook piece is written in the style of classic prose works. A total number of Abai words is forty-five separately works which is not recorded in the same direction on the topic of diversity. It is a short sample of six or seven, different of the content, the theme of the scale is widespread. Abai In his black words pays attention not to blending work only, but to its logical structure, depth of thoughts. One of the most outstanding works is words of edificationwhich is the works of a thinker and philosopher of Kazakh people is Abai Kunanbayuly. Written in the last years of Abai, words of edification consists of 45 words, are different in scope and writing. The literal translation from the Kazakh edifying words are translated as the Black Words (Kara sozder) translation which has its own meaning, as seen in these works is a clear criticism (not hate) of Abai to Kazakh people. For all his years Abay realized the shortcomings and disadvantages of the Kazakhs, and for fear that he will not be able to solve it, he chose a familiar style to write about it. Abay looking for the meaning of his life in his old age, going through the options as the board, multiplication herds, science, service, education of children and grandchildren, and the last writing their thoughts. All but the last Abay seems pointless and inappropriate, so he decides to write, which eventually become words of edification. Abai criticized Kazakhs for the fact that they laugh and scold everyone else: Uzbek, Russian, Nogai, while they did not achieve anything and do not know how. After all, each of these ethnic groups has its own advantages and good features, but the Kazakhs only discord yes abuse. So instead of criticizing it offers to follow their example. Abay said that the Kazakhs are lazy, think only of cattle, status, power and confidence and will to achieve these goals by any means. There is no room for other activities (agriculture, commerce, science, art), honor, unity, truth. Do not think that by the rulers and judges, therefore it is necessary for them to put education first. Abai said that we can not always be careless and stupid, and so it is impossible to always be sad and thoughtful. Do not laugh maliciously or simply to amuse, not everyone is a good laugh. After all, life is not eternal, and we must live it with dignity. Abai critiseized that materialistic values for Kazakhs root in folklore and culture, has become part of the people. No honor, no truth, no ties, or even God, there is nothing higher than money and power. And each is justified and considers himself innocent. Abai thought that the unity of spirit, in faith, strong bonds, and not the unity (overall) wellbeing, property and because of the dependence. Life - not fear of death, and when the soul lives and clear the mind. After all, without a living soul, a man is no better than a dog. Abai was saying that in humans, two starters, physical and spiritual. Today, adults fixated on the physical part, while the bulk of the human soul, the thirst for knowledge, achievements, feats. And so people are no better than animals that know nothing and nowhere is no longer seeks. Beys consider themselves smarter than all, rich people think that everything can be bought, thieves, fraudsters have no honor, the poor do not care about knowledge and truth. Who, then, is to learn and to teach someone? - always attened Abai. Abay shared his disappointment with the Kazakhs that leads him to his own dissatisfaction. The depth of his disappointment is so great that it ceases to feel anything, hope and dream. Why would a man child? If he can not bring up any of his or use for their own purposes. Why would a man riches? If he got it easy and dishonest way, as easy and pointless to spend. If you have anything better to Spend on education, his or her children, to make them better people - this opinions of Abai is actual in nowadays even. All Kazakh people stuck in the crime and impunity, where everyone thinks only about how to steal and earn, and how other wise up to this. Thieves, bais and by the people working in collusion among crime, fraud and money. There is no one to eradicate this evil, things just flow with the current - whiped with word Abai. That's right that people share their knowledge prosveschenskimi, but the main thing that a person does not yield to self-interest and self-confidence. First, he must completely surrender to their faith, and secondly, it must continue to be improved. After all, there is the use of the service without understanding the claimed Abay. Faith, iman, a person may be at the expense of a full understanding and acceptance of her, the other faith is the result of the knowledge and fortitude. But we must beware of people who are calling themselves believers, have no fear before the God of lies, self-confidence and fall. Heart, soul, overriding of the person who is responsible for the integrity, compassion, purity and courage. But many people forget about it and stumble again and again, as the return on the right path is difficult. Abay said that smart people are thinking only about the correct and essential matters, never lose your head and always hold themselves, their actions and life. Stupid people are also easily distracted, they live happily commit thoughtless acts and then regret it for life.
