Folk epics are a mirror reflecting the bittersweet experiences ofnations in their individual and social existence. These are also the mosteffective depictions of nations’ aspirations for the future. It is a well known fact that epics have a past as old as human history in this respect.In addition, the diversity of their subjects, the fluency of their wording andthe functionality of the messages they carry are the factors that facilitatethe spread of such works to every class of society. In this context, Turkishtribes hold a rich heritage. In this study, has been studied the epic Yusuf Zulaikha, which has an important place among Uighur Turks as well asother Muslim peoples. The story of Yusuf is the common value of all Abrahamic religions.Therefore, in every society that has holy book-based believes, it ispossible to come across the story of Yusuf. It is seen that a broad acquishas been formed on this issue in the Uighur society, which has been apart of the Muslim community since the early periods of Islam. In fact,it does not go unnoticed that this story becomes an epic that concernsfolk-literature rather than being a religious issue. Starting from this point,first of all, information about the literature formed on the story of Yusufin Uighur folk-literature will be included. In this study, as an example, acopy compiled by Ershidin Tatlıq and included at the collection of literaryworks about Uighur folk-literature will be analysed. Because there aremany variants of the work within the same nation. In the next step,brief information will be given about the characteristics of the Qur’annarratives due to its importance. In the last part of the study, the versesthought to be related to the preferred copy will be analysed comparativelyfor the purposes of the Quran narratives. In doing so, basic sources oftafsir bi-al-ma’thur will be consulted.
