Abstract: Research objectives: Based on a medieval Turkic-language manuscript, the role of the religion of Islam in various situations related to the spread of Islam and its use to justify conquests will be demonstrated.
Research materials: The London copy of the manuscript “Tavarih-i Guzida – Nusrat-name” was used.
Results and novelty of the research: In this article, the reflection of the role and functions of Islam in “Tavarih-i Guzida – Nusrat-name” is considered for the first time. Islam is presented in the text from different angles: as an oppressed religion that could not make itself known in the conditions of being within the framework of a stronger religion; as a peace-loving religion that provided guarantees of peace to non-believers, etc. Later on, with the spread and growth of the influence of Islam, its role becomes that of providing a justification for military attacks and territorial seizures. Taking into account the peculiarity of the work “Tavarikh-i Guzida – Nurat-name” which rests in the fact that it was written at the behest of Muhammad Sheibani Khan, Islam is generally shown in it as an instrument for control of supreme power.

Keywords: Islam, Tavarikh-i Guzida – Nusrat-name, Muhammad Sheibani Khan, Turkic-language text, 16th century
