This metaphorical research, titled “Religious syncretism: A hybrid Islamic approach,” examines hybrid Islamic tendencies that have emerged as a practical means of social change. In this context, the research proposes the metaphor of “hybrid Islam” in contemporary discussions on Islam. The conceptualisation of “hybrid Islam” is examined and interpreted in relation to the diversifying and differentiating motifs of belief and religiosity in the Islamic world. The primary purpose of this research is to examine and analyse the tendencies in the spiritual life of Muslims, combining different Islamic motifs in a hybrid image. In addition, this research attempts to understand and make sense of hybrid Islamic trends from a sociological perspective. At this point, it utilises understanding and interpretative approaches. As a result of this research, it is possible to discuss a hybrid Islamic approach that is evident in the Islamic world according to context, place, and time, which is embodied in different examples. A strategy has developed an orientation that combines secular motifs, on the one hand, and different Islamic motifs, on the other hand. This trend shows an approach that evolves from institutional, official, and scriptural religion to artificiality. This corresponds to a syncretic understanding of religion on the axis of Islamic hybridisation
