https://doi.org/10.31162/2618-9569-2019-12-3-850-868
Abstract
Based on the analysis of documents and the secondary data analysis, the article identifies social fears experienced by Russian Muslims. The types of fear are identified: loneliness, death, pain, rejection, punishment, condemnation, consequences of changes, inconsistency with the image of a true Muslim, failure to achieve bliss after the transition to the next life, unsatisfactory fulfilment of marital and parental roles based on Islamic ethics.
The factors in the emergence of fear are highlighted, based on violations in the structure of the personality of the Muslims: low self-esteem, negative relationship experience, socio-psychological characteristics of the individual, lack of social self-regulation skills. Institutions and mechanisms that implement activities to overcome the consequences of fears among the Muslims are described, and recommendations to assisting professionals, interacting with different categories of the Muslims, are provided.
