Museum of Kokbay Zhanatayev.

Museums of  Kazakhstan.

“The proof of the existence of one and almighty God is that for many millennia in different languages ​​people have been talking about the existence of God, and no matter how many religions there are, everyone believes that love and justice are inherent in God.
We are not creators, but mortals who know the world by created things. We are ministers of love and justice. And we differ in how much better we are aware of the creation of the Almighty."

"Word Forty-Fifth". Abai (Ibragim) Kunanbaev. "Book of Words" (Words of Edification). Translated by Rolan Seisenbaev and Klara Serikbayeva.
