The present article study’s Islamic identity in Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region, situating it within the broader context of independence and religious revival. A thorough examination of the factors and peculiarities that have contributed to the formation of Islamic identity in Kazakhstan reveals the predominant trends and potential forecasts of identification processes related to the search for the religious and spiritual origins of Kazakh society. This analysis also addresses critical issues such as religious radicalization, religiously motivated extremism, and intra-confessional division. The concept of Islamic identity is understood within the broader framework of religious, cultural, and national identities. From a scientific perspective, Islamic identity is a subject of interest due to its role in shaping worldview paradigms of Islamic consciousness. The comprehension of its significance in communication practices facilitates the recognition of its sociocultural importance. Discussions within the humanities concerning the principles and reasons that constitute Islamic identity demonstrate the ambiguity and complexity of the issue.
