Abstract
The article examines the process of Tatars studying abroad at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries – in Bukhara, Samarkand, in the world centers for Islamic education – Istanbul, Cairo, Medina, Deoband. On the example of specifi c individuals, the prerequisites and some features of the learning process, including the issues of material support for students, as well as the further fate of the Tatars who graduated from these educational institutions, are described. Many graduates returned to their homeland and continued the work of their mentors. The most capable ones were invited as teachers to the madrasah that they themselves graduated from. The paper includes the results of the well-known Tatar scholar and theologian Shihab al-Din al-Marjani and the materials of the Tatar periodical press of the early 20th century. Many of the materials are introduced into scientifi c circulation for the fi rst time.
