The subject of the research in the article is the visual materials of the 1862-1863, reflecting the features of the costume complex of the Volga-Ural Tatars and its images depending on the time, theoretical and practical knowledge about the peoples living in a certain region and the representation of material heritage, through the socio-cultural perception of the artist K.F. Gun. Based on the results of the work, it was revealed that the artist executed the images in urban and rural settlements, designated class differences through the features of the costume complex - the materials used, multi-part headdresses and their differences from each other, decorative elements and ornaments. He was the first to distinguish between the differences in clothing that existed in private and public spaces, and actualized it in the images he created where the characteristic features of gender and age differences were revealed by the pictures of the costumes. However, it is necessary to highlight the controversial points in the images that were found in the works of K.F. Gun – atypical headdresses, analogues of which have not survived in museums or private collections; errors in administrative-territorial division, when the artist sketched the same people in different provinces, according to his signatures; confusion in peoples, for example - the ambiguous costume complex of the starokryashen Tatars (the Baptized Tatars), closer to the clothing of the Votyaks (Udmurts).

This article analyzes the creation and functioning of the 95^th Reserve Infantry Regiment in the Russian Empire during World War I. The focus is on the issues of nationalization and the Muslimization of the regiment’s composition, which represented an important stage in the reform of the Russian army within a multi-ethnic state. The author examines how the process of Muslimization contributed to strengthening national identity among Muslim servicemen and facilitated their integration into the army. The article also explores the impact of these changes on public sentiment, relationships between different ethnic groups, and their perceptions of military service. Special attention is paid to the analysis of interactions between Muslim units, military command, and authorities, as well as their role in the mobilization processes of that time. The study synthesizes historical sources and archival data, providing a comprehensive investigation of the influence of Muslim military units on the development of the army and society in the context of war and revolution.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the modern Muslim intellectual tradition in Indonesia in the context of analysing the social problems of Islam. The novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the main trends and directions in the development of Muslim social thought in modern Indonesia. Methodologically, the article is based on the principles proposed in intellectual and social history, which allows us to perceive Muslim intellectuals involved in the study of the social problems of the Ummah as an imagined community, and their ideas as invented traditions. The article analyses 1) the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern Indonesian sociology of Islam, 2) national specifics and regional features of the development of Islam in Indonesia in modern Muslim thought, 3) the problems of transformation and contradictions of the radicalization of Islam through the prism of understanding and interpreting this dimension of the modern social history of Islam. It is assumed that Muslim intellectuals make a significant contribution to the consolidation of modern identity by analysing both the social characteristics and characteristics of the Ummah, as well as the threats faced by the Indonesian model of Islam in a secular society in the context of the actualization of the ideas of radical Islam. The author's main conclusions include several points: 1) professional Muslim intellectuals make a major contribution to the development of modern Muslim sociology, 2) specialised journals published by Islamic universities play a leading role in the production and relaying of social knowledge based on Islam, 3) modern Muslim intellectual tradition is the subject to fragmentation, but, in general, the scientific tradition of the Ummah actualizes moderate trends in Islamic Sociology, based on the principles of interdisciplinarity.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of Islamic activism in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, broadcast by the country's leading Islamic organizations.

The phenomenon of Islamic activism originated in the middle of the XIX century under the influence of the intervention of Western countries into Islamic regions. Islamic activism as a phenomenon is still not structured, but is a reaction of Muslim society to the challenges of the world. Islamic activism affects absolutely all spheres of human life, from the organization of interest groups to global politics. One of the main properties of Islamic activism is the emergence of large religious organizations that are the conductors of ideologies peculiar to the region where the organization appeared. A striking example is the Islamic organization Nahdatul Ulama, which, unfortunately, is not as studied by domestic researchers as others. The social transformations she has brought to Indonesian and world society through the promotion of Islamic social, political and economic activism are also poorly understood.

The article examines spiritual and educational activities as one of the conditions for solving the strategic task of protecting traditional spiritual and moral values. Ministers (staff, volunteers) of religious organizations are considered as potential specialists in the field of spiritual and moral education. The Bashkortostan clergy expressed their attitude towards a new type of non-religious activity by taking part in a specially designed survey. The study showed that the clergy of the Republic of Bashkortostan, considering themselves as the carriers of spiritual and religious knowledge, are able to share their experience with parishioners. They are also ready to develop in the younger generation the skills of a religious way of understanding the world. Moreover, they are able to instill the values of religious doctrine, have experience in conducting educational events and reveal high readiness to conduct educational activities. But at the same time they understand that they are able to partially satisfy educational needs and interests in the field of religious cultures. The identified high need of the clergy for mastering spiritual and educational competencies leads the researcher to the conclusion that it is necessary to include a special course in the training of Orthodox and Muslim higher educational institutions, and, moreover, to develop a master’s program in “Spiritual and Moral Education.”

The article deals with the main stages of formation of methodological principles in Islamic Theology. The author of the paper analyzes various forms of the methodological approaches demonstration in the theological thought among Muslims since the VII century with the theoretical searches of righteous predecessors - Salafs, method in kalam, methodological searches in modern theological thought and Islamic modernism. The analysis of the formation of the methodological principles allows the author to assert that this problem today is one of the most undeveloped even in the modern Islamic Theology.

This article examines the legacy of the one of the most prominent Arab-Muslim linguists of the 10^th century, Abu al-Fath ‘Uthman ibn Jinni. A review of the author's most outstanding works has been conducted. The analysis of the above works on the use of the Quranic text, both as a subject and as a tool for learning branches of Arabic grammar, is carried out. As an illustration of quoting the Quran in the works under consideration, specific examples are given. The purpose of the article is to focus on the interpretation of the Holy Quran through the prism of the Arabic language "التفسير اللغوي" and the presentation of Ibn Jinni to the Russian community, not only as a linguist, but also as a Mufassir. Also, the conclusion of this article is to confirm the validity of the statement that a deep study of Arabic grammar is impossible without referring to the Quranic verses, just as an in-depth understanding of Divine Revelation requires knowledge of the grammar of the Arabic language.

The article attempts to determine the role and historical significance of the innovative views of ‘Ata’ Allah Bayazitov (1846–1911) in the development of the cultural potential of the Tatar people. The author draws attention to the time and essence of innovations in traditional Russian Muslim society. A number of Tatar intellectuals laid down approaches and methods that met scientific requirements, tools suitable for discussing a new understanding and interaction of theological and philosophical knowledge. Innovators proposed new concepts of the theory of knowledge, aimed at revealing religious thought in its modern understanding: such as confidence in the human mind, the primacy of man, the immanence of God. Through understanding a number of conceptual issues of Islamic Theology, Tatar educational theologians developed methods for overcoming the ideological problems of the Muslim community. This, in turn, made it possible to lay the foundations for building a state-confessional dialogue. The author concludes that the paradigm of thinking built by the innovators was the need to implement divine instructions in social and production activities, and not just in the spiritual sphere. This is the key to the development of the cognitive function and the decisive criterion in the search for truth. Thus, we can observe the process of transformation of Theology from the medieval science of God into the modern science of faith.

This article is devoted to the study of the nature and essence of one of the fundamental sources of Islamic Law - ijma‘ in the methodological views of the Qadi and the Mufti of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia Rizaetdin Fakhretdinov (1859-1936). The conceptual features of Fakhretdinov’s characteristic views on the nature of ijma‘, its essence, the conditions of its emergence and the specifics of its practical adaptation allowed him to raise important questions regarding the competence of participants making a consolidated decision, the categoricalness and duration of the legal force of such decisions. His views on the institutionalization of ijma‘ may indicate the presence of regional competence of ijma‘ representatives. The study of ijma‘ was carried out on the basis of an analysis of Fakhretdinov’s views with the views of classical methodologists (usuliyyun), during which the author attempts to substantiate them within the framework of Hanafi methodological thought. The article is intended to make a modest contribution to the study of the nature of ijma‘ and its role in the religious and legal life of Muslims. The nature of the article is also on rethinking the assessment of the classical heritage of fiqh, the development of a critical and practice-oriented approach in individual and collegial forms of the methodology of fatwa creation. Moreover, the paper means to attract the attention of modern researchers in the field of methodology to these issues within the Islamic Law.

The article describes the negative consequences that result from the lack of a competent approach to solving the problem associated with determining the right to care for minor children after parental divorce. The main focus is on explaining the most important norms of Islamic family law, and Russian legislation in matters of the right to care for the children in the event of parental divorce. A comparative analysis is carried out between these norms, indicating points of contact and differences. The purpose of the study is to reveal the problem related to the right to care for the minor children that Muslims in the Russian Federation face during the divorce proceedings. The author, in this article, draws attention to the fact that due to some differences in these legal norms, Muslims may have difficulties associated with the desire to simultaneously comply with the rules of their religion in the legal field and not violate the provisions of Russian law.  The author also discloses the ways out of the current situation, combining, where possible, the rules of law of the both approaches. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the very study of the key problems that Muslims in Russia face in the matters related to the divorce process, in particular, regarding the right to care for the children after their parents’ divorce. The research provides the comparative analysis between the norms of Islam and the rules of the Family Code of the Russian Federation on the matter. As a result, it was determined that the Muslim community needs to know and study both the norms of Islamic Law regarding the right to care for the minor children after a divorce, and the position of Russian legislation. It is very important to learn how to combine these norms. Also, in case of a dispute, such issues should be addressed to the qadi. It will help you avoid mistakes and determine who has the priority right to care for the children.

The article examines the influence of specific radical movements of Islam on their adherents through the linguistic attitudes. In the introduction, the author examines the general global reasons due to which a person in modern society is especially susceptible to various types of involvement in destructive cults. The main part of the article is devoted to the consideration of practical examples of verbal manipulations used by the Islamists. The paper also mentions extremist and terrorist organizations whose activities are prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation and discusses their distorted interpretations of classical theological texts. By analyzing specialized literature in Russian and Arabic, as well as empirically, the research reveals the ways to influence the personality of a believer through the language. The author of the publication personally held many meetings in pre-trial detention centers with those under investigation and accused on extremist and terrorist charges and collected a large amount of empirical material. A conclusion is drawn about the main linguistic manipulations of Islamist organizations.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) occurs in 1-3% of the adult population and is considered an extremely debilitating and severe disorder with concomitant complications in the social, professional and family spheres. At the same time, cultural-specific (ethnic, regional and religious) aspects of the manifestation of this condition are rarely highlighted, and even less often – the cultural specifics of psychological counseling.

This article is an integral part of a series of publications in which, based on specific cases of child-parent relations, the positive dynamics of psychological work based on Ingush culture and religious values is shown. The results of the author's accumulated experience show that the multicultural competence of the therapist provides him not only with a high level of trust from the client, but also with a professional approach based on the cultural aspects of psychological assistance [1; 2; 3; 4; 5].

Currently, the studies on religiosity are becoming more and more popular and relevant, and the terminology “spirituality” is acquiring its original etymological meaning. There is a tendency of interest in spiritual development on the part of young people who choose the concept of spirituality as the basis of their personal development. The article presents the results of an analysis of the relationship between coping strategies, stress levels and religious orientation among young people living in Russia. 104 respondents took part in the study: 52 men and 52 women between the ages from 18 to 35 years. To determine coping strategies, the author uses the Russian-language adaptation of the COPE questionnaire developed by K. Carver, M. Scheyer and J. Weintraub and adapted by T.O. Gordeeva, E.N. Osin and E.A. Rasskazova. To measure religious orientation, the G. Allport and D. Ross Scale of Religious Orientation was used, the type of religious coping was assessed using the B-RCOPE short questionnaire of religious coping. The analysis of the study results confirmed our hypothesis that coping strategies are closely related to stress levels: Active coping strategies help reduce stress levels, while avoidant coping behavior correlates with high stress levels. In addition, the study showed that religious orientation and the type of religious coping influence the choice of coping strategies. Participants with an internal religious orientation and positive religious coping were more likely to have active coping strategies, while external religiosity and negative coping were associated with avoidance and passive behavior. This indicates that religiosity can play an important role in choosing ways to cope with stress among young people living in Russia. It has been revealed that it is religious coping that they use most often.

Hypothesis: The present study serves to confirm the assumption that religiosity is one of the significant factors of the emotional well-being of the Russian youth.
