Abstract:

Globalization is a phenomenon that appeared clearly in the 1980s and in the short term affected all the world’s communities. As in the whole world, protecting Islamic culture and religious values, with its intention and concern, is against globalization and demonstrates it in the form of a rigorous conservation, while others are trying to introduce an alternative method of defense against globalization in the form of "culturalization". According to this, it must be essential to understand and explain religion in accordance with the needs of the modern age while addressing the essence and fundamental principles of Islam. For this to be achieved, education must be founded and the scientific and technological data brought by globalization must be instrumentalized. The main theme of globalization is the economy in the direction of science and technology, but its reflection has been in the cultural field. In this direction, the influence of globalization on religious beliefs and practices has occurred greatly. First of all, secularization, which is among the fundamental bases of globalization, has changed the religious interpretation and approaches of the believer and has led to the free and individual entrepreneur, not according to the religious ways, but according to the individual’s own perception and understanding, to a religious approach.

Abstract:

Globalization is a concept that emerged prominently in the 1980s and has affected all societies of the world in a short time. While opposing globalization with the aim and concern of protecting and preserving Islamic culture and religious values, as is the case all over the world, and showing this in the form of strict conservatism, others are trying to put forward an alternative defense method against globalization in the form of “glocalization.” Accordingly, it should be essential to understand and explain the religion in line with the requirements of the modern age, while still focusing on the essence and basic principles of Islam. For this to happen, education must be the basis and the scientific and technological data brought about by globalization must be instrumentalized. While the main theme of globalization is the economy in line with science and technology, its widespread reflection on social life has been in the cultural sphere. In this direction, globalization has had a significant impact on religious beliefs and practices. First of all, secularization, which is one of the main pillars of globalization, has changed the religious interpretations and approaches of the believers, and has led to a free and individual initiatory religious approach, especially in the dimension of individualization, not according to religious nasses, but in line with the individual’s own perception and understanding.
