Racialized ethnic boundary-making in multilingual Kazakhstan: From silent to recognitional tolerance
This conceptual analysis examines interethnic tolerance in Kazakhstan as racialized ethnic boundary-making in multilingual and civic life. Drawing on an author-led thematic-conceptual synthesis of published scholarship and open legal, statistical, and institutional sources, it does not present new primary data or impose a Western biological definition of race. Racialization is used relationally: ethnic, linguistic, regional, migratory, visible, a…
Regulated pluralism and lived Christianity in Kazakhstan: Finnish parallels for analysing transcultural religious practice
This article analyses Christianity in Kazakhstan as a transcultural and theologically meaningful social formation rather than as a mere demographic residue of Soviet history or a simple outcome of missionary expansion. The argument is that Christianity in Kazakhstan is produced at the intersection of three layers: legal regulation, ethno-linguistic negotiation, and lived religious practice. To make this argument, the study develops a comparative …
Sacred sound and spiritual formation: Dhikr, devotional music, and religious identity in Kazakh Islamic culture
This conceptual article examines sacred sound as a medium of spiritual formation and religious identity in Kazakh Islamic culture. It treats dhikr, devotional singing, poetic recitation and culturally embedded vocal practices as forms of religious remembrance, not simply as aesthetic performance. Drawing on Qur'anic language, sound studies, Sufi reflection on samāʿ and Central Asian scholarship, the article develops a cultural-theological reading…
The Religious and Social Logic of Terrorism Financing
Terrorism persists not simply because of its violence or ideology but because the networks that sustain it are embedded in the everyday relations of markets, politics and faith. This article analyzes the social logic of terrorism financing by integrating sociological theory with recent research on the misuse of charity, informal value transfer systems and digital currencies. Empirical evidence from Kazakhstan and Central Asia is combined with int…

The role of cognitive identification and poetic consciousness of Kazakh youth in the formation of spiritual unity and religious education
In the era of globalization, the spiritual and cultural self consciousness of Kazakh youth is undergoing profound transformations. The notions of cognitive identification and poetic consciousness have become decisive frameworks through which young people reinterpret their spiritual identity. The present study aims to analyse the cultural–cognitive identification of Kazakh youth and its interaction with national and global cultural codes. Using co…
Christian Communities: Comparative Analysis of Church-State Relations in Finland and Kazakhstan
Religious freedom is a universal human right and a cornerstone of modern secular governance. Yet the way in which this freedom is guaranteed and experienced differs significantly across countries. This article compares the legal status, lived experience and theological responses of Christian communities in two very different settings – Finland, a predominantly Lutheran country in northern Europe, and Kazakhstan, a Muslim majority republic in Cent…
Kazakh superstitions between humans and nature as a system of compatibility in theology
The unity of man and nature is associated in many philosophical currents with different levels of world unity. This is especially true of al-Farabi's concept of the world under the moon. Although ontological problems are posed at a high level in the concepts of space and time in modern philosophy and classical physics, they become functions of infinity, which are absolutely separate from man. Of course, there is a mutual creative activity and ins…
