Abstract

In Kazakhstan, after gaining independence, as well as in other countries of the post-Soviet space, the process of legalization of religious institutions began to manifest itself in the form of a stormy "revival". For thirty years of independence, Islam in Kazakhstan has acquired a new history, which is determined by the high level and status of religion in a secular state. Islam became a symbol of not only religion but also of ethno-cultural revival, a new system of national consciousness and values. From the first years of liberation from the ideology of state atheism and the policy of banishing religion from the social space, there has been a tendency in Kazakhstani society of rapid religious renewal, a return to spiritual sources that have long embraced the traditions and culture of the Kazakh people. This article examines the issues devoted to the revival of Islam in the public sphere, the impact of state regulation policy on Islamization, the main trends in the re-Islamization of public life. The study aims to analyze the influence of the revival of Islam and its institutionalization in religious, economic, cultural, and political spheres. This study applied philosophical, historical, and comparative analysis. The methodological basis of the work was the scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists.
