The genre of debate is one of the oldest genres in the history of the world art of speech. Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, with his works "Paradise" and "Hell", was the first in Uzbek classical literature to consolidate the genre of discussion in the form of an independent work. He also effectively used the genre of debates to educate the Turkic peoples. In the dispute, arrogance, conceit, tyranny, immorality, hypocrisy are severely condemned, and such virtues as patience, forgiveness, purity, wisdom are glorified. The work is based on the traditions of ancient Turkish poetry. In the discussion of Khoja Ahmed Yassavi, the traditions of ancient Turkish poetry were clearly manifested in the form and folk creative style of this work.
