Miftahetdin Akmulla

[1] Born 14 December 1831 in the village of Tuqhanbay, Kulil-Minsk volost Belebeyevsk Uyezd, Orenburg Governorate (currently the Miyakinsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan).

Rizaitdin bine Fəxretdin writes that the father of Akmulla was a Bashkir, and his mother was from “Kazan citizens” (one of the names of the Tatars)».

In the mid-1850s he was a shakird of a madrassah (school) in the village of Sterlibashevo, where he received lessons from the famous Sufi poet Şəmsetdin Zəki.

Friendship with a Muslim religious figure Zəynulla Rəsülev played a large role in his formation as a philosopher.

According to the denunciation of the Kazakh Batuch Isyangildin was he convicted of evading military service in the imperial army and for four years (1867–1871) was in Trinity Prison.

The reason for Miftahetdin's imprisonment was, according to researchers, the fact that he was considered to be a Bashkir hiding from military service among Kazakhs.

The young woman suffered from a lack of her own housing, constant moving, and when they ended up in her native land, she ran away from her husband.

Miftahetdin's work was permeated by the humanistic ideas of that time, and included advanced trends in the social life of Russia.

The views, ideals, philosophical ideas of Akmulla were born in the struggle against religious fanaticism and the manifestations of medieval scholasticism, against oppression of the people.

His works influenced poetry Gabdulla Tukai, Məjit Ğafuri, Şəyexzada Babiç, Dawıt Yultıy, Şafiq Əminev-Tamyani, Səyfi Qoðaş and others.

Who is enlightened and trained in craft, He is glorious, proud, not boring in communication, The source of wisdom is available to him, A ignoramus is inseparable with humiliation.
