This article examines the formative factors behind pedagogical ideas in the works of So‘fi Olloyor, an influential figure in the spiritual and literary heritage of Central Asia. Although his poetic legacy is most often celebrated for its Sufi themes and moral depth, Olloyor’s texts also serve as a valuable source of guidance on teaching and character education. Written largely in accessible vernacular language, his verses discuss moral virtues, personal development, and the shaping of ethical behavior—objectives that correspond closely to pedagogical concerns. Through an exploration of the social, cultural, and theological environments that shaped Olloyor’s writing, this article illuminates how Sufi influences, communal traditions, and a commitment to using simple Turkic prose and poetry contributed to his distinctive approach. Ultimately, by identifying the pedagogical undercurrents in Olloyor’s oeuvre, we gain insight into how moral and spiritual instruction were conveyed to a wide audience, laying the groundwork for a lasting educational and cultural impact.
