    ISLAM AND MUSLIM PILGRIMAGEIN MEDIEVAL KAZAKHSTAN
    (СДУ хабаршысы - 2017, 2017) M.B. Assanbayev
    Abstract. History of the Middle Ages rejects the pseudoscientific thesis of the incompatibility of Islam and Nomadic society. This pseudoscientific thesis became widespread in Soviet historiography, and dominated historians throughout the XX century. Domination of atheistic ideology during the Soviet period, as well as the secularization of public consciousness with its antiIslamic orientation, has influenced many contemporary researchers who were engaged in the history of Kazakhstan. In an attempt to interpret the traditional Kazakh culture many of them were influenced by the wrong “pseudo nomadic” concept. This concept has been the result of an atheistic materialist understanding of the phenomenon of nomadic culture.
