The Role of Religious Spirituality in the Social Development of Public Consciousness: An Approach to Interpersonal Relationships in Kazakhstan

From the Islamic point of view, preserving spiritual integrity and moral values is crucial for the welfare of society, which makes the study of this degradation particularly urgent. This study looks at important reasons for the decline of Kazakh culture. It highlights the loss of moral values and cultural traditions, as well as the impact of outside social and technological forces. The research employs a mixed approach, including a structured online survey of 597 respondents from seven large cities in Kazakhstan. The data is analyzed using statistical and thematic methods to identify key themes of spiritual degradation, cultural identity, and the role of Islamic values. The results show that 47% of respondents link cultural degradation primarily with blurring moral and ethical norms, and 20% consider the loss of cultural traditions as the key factor. Other contributing factors include urbanization, economic inequality, technological influences, and dependent mentality. Traditional Islamic values are highlighted as potential guiding principles for combating these trends. The study finds that the spiritual decline in Kazakhstan is a complex issue that needs a wide range of solutions. These solutions should include Islamic principles, protection of culture, and efforts to reduce the economic differences that lead to moral issues. Effective state programs, combined with a cultural shift toward ethical responsibility, are needed to counter these trends and form a more spiritually and morally sound society.
