One of the outstanding sufis in the Turkic-Islamic world is Hodja Ahmed Yesevi. The sufi, whose grave is in Turkestan, which is connected with the city of Shymkent, lived during the period of the Karakhanid-Turkic languages. However, in many different manuscripts of his famous work “Divan-i Hikmet”, it is clear that the linguistic elements of the Chagatai language have an influence. There are some disputes about the works of Hodja Ahmed Yesevi, as well as in terms of language history. There is no exact information about whether the Kiyamet-name, which is the subject of our study, belongs to Hodja Ahmed Yesevi or is a work attributed to him. However, it is known that in the Central Asian Turkic world there is a widespread tradition of reading “wisdom” created by the disciples of Khoja Ahmed Yesevi. It is remarkable that the work, which is an example of Kiyamet-names, which includes period before doomsday, doomsday and heaven or hell after doomsday, was copied in 1984 in the Chagatai language. We think that this situation will provide a new classification opportunity for researchers who study the history of the language and conduct appropriate classification studies. Kiyamet-name, written in the Chagatai language, begins on page 24a of an 8x6.6cm graph notebook and consists of 11 pages. After the apocalypse scene in the text, the conversation of the Prophet, Fatima and Gabriel with a group from the Islamic Ummah and the reasons for their falling into Hell are discussed. This situation keeps the fluency alive in the didactic work. The paper presents the linguistic features of the work written in the Chagatai language, which are considered necessary.
