Abstract
The author of this article analyzes the religious and philosophical thoughts of outstanding Tatar theologian and enlightener Gabdulla Bubi (1871–1922) which were widespread among the students of madresah in the beginning of the 20th century. Especially the author of this article examines the polemical work Istina and treatise Zhenchini. Considers problems raised in the works of G. Bubi, gives his own assessment. Reviews the key terms of Quranic exegesis as abrogation (nasih we mensuh) and deals with the issue of free individual search in Quranic interpretation (idzhtihad) which is believed to be the core beliefs of life of G. Bubi. The translation and comments are presented by the author of this article.
