Abstract

The choice of the topic "Interfaith Harmony in the Context of Spiritual Revival and Cultural Transformation of Kazakhstani Society" is driven by the relevance of the issue of harmonizing interfaith relations in the modern world. In the context of globalization, the information society, and increasing migration flows, questions of cultural identity, spiritual revival, and religious diversity come to the forefront. Kazakhstan, as a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional country, faces the necessity of maintaining and strengthening interfaith harmony. The article analyzes the spiritual foundations of interfaith harmony in Kazakhstani society, which have developed during the latest stage of the country's development amidst spiritual renewal and cultural transformation. The authors focus on revealing the essence of the multi-confessional and multi-ethnic environment and examine the impact of globalization and spiritual renewal on interethnic and interfaith relations in the Republic. The scientific and practical significance of this work lies in studying how spiritual renewal in modern society contributes to strengthening national identity and peace in a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional society. The authors emphasize the need to pay special attention to the socio-cultural identity of Kazakhstani society, which influences religious tolerance as a key principle of interfaith and interethnic relations in Kazakhstan. The practical significance of the study's results is as follows: Kazakhstan, as a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional state, adheres to strong models of state-confessional relations that contribute to strengthening national identity and have the potential to mitigate various global religious conflicts.

Key words: spirituality, spiritual revival, multi-ethnic society, confessions, religious organizations.
