The spread of Islam to the nomadic Kazakh community that lived in the steppes of Asia has followed a difficult historical path over many centuries. In recent centuries, a system of Islamic religious education in the regions where Islam was the main religion gradually began to generalize and spread. This process continued until the more recent introduction of an updated and broader educational program. This article shows how religious education developed in this minority faith community, ultimately strengthening educational levels generally as well as a sense of Kazakh identity.
