Ybyrai (Ibrahim) Altynsarin [əbəɾai altənsaɾin] (Kazakh : Ыбырай Алтынсарин, Ybyrai Altynsarin; Russian : Ибрай Алтынсарин; 1 November [ O.S. 20 October] 1841 – 29 July [ O.S. 17 July] 1889) was a major figure in pre-Soviet Kazakh history. He was the most prominent Kazakh educator of the 19th century, at the period of Russian colonization of and cultural influence in Kazakhstan.
Ibrahim Altynsarin was born in the Araqaraghai region of Turgay Oblast (now Kostanay Province) of modern-day Kazakhstan and in his early career he was an inspector of Torghai schools. Like all ethnic Kazakhs, Ibrahim was raised in an Islamic family that valued tradition and religion over many other aspects of life. Because of the influx of Russian influence in the area, though, he developed more progressive views for Kazakh society to westernize and accelerate. This allowed him to come up with multiple ways to modernize Kazakh society.
Ibrahim Altynsarin is best known for introducing the transition from the Perso-Arabic alphabet to the Cyrillic alphabet for the Kazakh language, and was a proponent of teaching in the Western style. Being a Muslim, though, he opposed the teaching of Orthodox Christian doctrines to non-Russian Kazakhs, but at the same time urged resistance to Tatar language and culture, in favor of Russian and Western influences. As an educator, he opened numerous Kazakh-Russian boarding schools, technical schools and schools for girls.
Altynsarin is also known as the author of the first Kazakh grammar book, the first Kazakh-Russian newspaper, and translator of a large number of textbooks and reference works. He was honored by the Imperial Russian government with numerous awards, including the title statski sovetnik (State Counsellor).
A number of Kazakh institutions, including the Kazakh Academy of Education, Arkalyk State Pedagogical Institute and some streets, schools, and academic awards, are named after Altynsarin. There is an Altynsarin museum in Kostanay.

Үміт еткен көзімнің нұры – балам, Жаныңа жәрдем берсін Хақ тағалам. Атаң мұнда анаңмен есен-аман, Сүйіп сәлем жазады бүгін саған. Атаңды сағындым деп асығарсың, Надан боп білмей қалсаң, аһ ұрарсың. Шырағым, мұнда жүрсең не етер едің, Қолыңа құрық алып кетер едің. Тентіреп екі ауылдың арасында Жүргенмен, не мұратқа жетер едің?!
The light of my eyes, only hope is my child, May the Almighty help you. Your grandfather is safe here with your mother, Greetings to you today. You are in a hurry to miss your grandfather, If you are ignorant, you will sigh. My precious, what would you do if you were here, You would take a handkerchief. Wandering between the two villages What would you achieve if you're just dawdling?!
