Purpose

In the Kazakhstani context, the instrumentalization of the Muftiate as a social engineering tool is particularly pertinent, as it stands out as a unique channel for the political, moral and cultural shaping of Muslims. This study aims to outline the role of the Muftiate, its historical background and recent restructuring process. It focuses on the ideological practices and religious discourses of the Muftiate.

Design/methodology/approach

In Kazakhstan, as a result of reforms in the religious sphere, which were started in 2011, the scope of activity of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (the Muftiate) has entered a new phase and become an important ideological tool within national policy. It has emerged as a civil society institution that will centralize the process of Islamization and instrumentalize the importance of Islam to create a new fantasy of unity and solidarity.

Findings

Thus, it discusses how Muftiate fabricates the correct forms of action and the correct form of thought. The theory of “ideological state apparatuses” (ISA) of the French philosopher Louis Althusser should be considered as a theoretical framework of this study. This approach not only gives a theoretical definition of the Muftiate but also allows us to determine its position in society and outline three different dimensions of the practice that it performs.

Originality/value

The study demonstrates how the Muftiate as an ISA actualizes various concepts, ideas, beliefs or images in which Muslims live their imaginary relations to the real world and transforms Muslim individuals into ideological subjects, thus enabling them to become apparently free bearers of the ideology.

哈萨克斯坦意识形态形成的问题：Muftiate 作为意识形态国家机器的三维实践（阿尔都塞主义分析）

目的

在哈萨克斯坦的背景下，将 Muftiate 工具化为社会工程工具尤为重要，因为它是塑造穆斯林政治、道德和文化的独特渠道。本研究旨在概述 Muftiate 的作用、其历史背景和最近的重组过程。它侧重于 Muftiate 的意识形态实践和宗教话语。

设计/方法/方法

在哈萨克斯坦，由于 2011 年开始的宗教领域改革，哈萨克斯坦穆斯林精神管理机构（Muftiate）的活动范围进入了一个新阶段，并成为国家政策中重要的意识形态工具。它已经成为一个公民社会机构，它将集中伊斯兰化进程并利用伊斯兰教的重要性来创造统一和团结的新幻想。

发现

因此，它讨论了 Muftiate 如何制造正确的行动形式和正确的思想形式。法国哲学家路易·阿尔都塞的“意识形态国家机器”（ISA）理论应被视为本研究的理论框架。这种方法不仅给出了 Muftiate 的理论定义，而且使我们能够确定它在社会中的地位，并勾勒出它所执行的实践的三个不同维度。

原创性/价值

该研究展示了作为 ISA 的 Muftiate 如何实现穆斯林与现实世界的想象关系中的各种概念、思想、信仰或形象，并将穆斯林个人转变为意识形态主体，从而使他们能够明显地成为意识形态的自由承载者。
