The aim of our work is to study the theological form and worldview of Sufism. As a result of our research, we have revealed that the model of the monotheistic system is the system of Sufism developed by al-Ghazali, and the model of the system of pantheistic Sufism is the system of Ibn al-Arabi. The worldview of the Sufis developed in close unity with the process of formation and development of the Sufi teaching as a whole. Along with the theological form of the teaching about God, about the spirit, about man, worldview views on nature, man and society were also formed. This peculiarity and dialectical inconsistency can be traced at all stages of the history of the origin and development of sufism.

The purpose of our work is to investigate the main function and essence of the Holy Divine Scripture, the phenomenon of the inimitability of the Koran, based on the works of scientists: Ibn Khaldun, Osama Seyid al-Azhari, Abu Abdullah al-Kurtubi, Jalaladdin al-Suyuti and others. The study examines in detail the four main pillars of the Holy Quran: Cognition of the Almighty, Leadership, Inimitability and Legislation. As a result of our research, we came to the conclusion that the main function and essence of the Holy Quran are the Koranic rods, personifying the Divine instruction, which is directly related to the inimitableness of the Quran. This conclusion opens before us a completely different, non-standard view of the phenomenon of the inimitableness of the Koran, and we still have to observe many new discoveries confirming its infinity.

One of the most important and urgent tasks of modern Russian science is the study of the cultural and educational heritage of the peoples of our great country. The XVIII century is the era of flourishing and development of scientific and theological thought in the socio-cultural space of Dagestan. Islam by this time was thoroughly entrenched, it became not only a religion, but also a culture and way of life of the Dagestan peoples. The activity of Dagestani scholars in creating their works in Arabic and translating foreign language literature into Arabic was very high. At this time, in the major centers of development of theological science (Derbent, Kumukhe, Sogratle, Akusha, Khunzakhe, Akhty), the humanities and natural sciences are being thoroughly developed. This article attempts to investigate the biography and scientific and theological heritage of Mahdi Muhammad al-Suguri. Most of his works, due to the fact that they have not been translated from the Arabic language and not published, remain to this day not accessible to a wide range of readers. The range of translated written treatises of this author in Arabic is very limited.

Written sources in Arabic play an extremely important role in the study of the history of Islam in medieval Dagestan. A special place among these sources is occupied by historical texts of Dagestan origin. The article is devoted to the study of the historical essay «The Shine of Dagestan Checkers in Some Battles of Shamil», compiled by Muhammad Tahir al Karakhi in Arabic.
