Abstract
The relevance of the presented topic lies in the fact that the activities of the Imam of Ghulja were not the subject of research. Based on the analysis of interviews with representatives of the Tatar diaspora of the Republic of Kazakhstan and memoir-epistolary material, the author examines the life and work of the Tatar Imam Kashflasrar in a foreign language space. The article points out his great contribution to the spiritual and moral education of representatives of the Tatar diaspora of Northwestern China, as well as the historical role of the imam in the process of repatriation of Tatars to the USSR. As a result of the conducted research, it can be concluded that largely due to the spiritual and educational activities of the imam, the Tatar diaspora has not lost its identity, its religion, language and culture, which is an important factor in preserving identity in a foreign-speaking country.
