چکیده:
In the present article, we analyze the layers of intellectual-epistemological currents of Muslims in Central Asia and attempt to answer the question: what is the nature of the existing Islamic currents in Central Asia? In this regard, the study of Islamic currents in Central Asia shows that today we are witnessing significant transformations in two layers of Islamic identity present among the religious currents in the region. One of these layers is the Sufi order network, which has experienced remarkable growth in recent years and has become a focus of attention for regional governments; the second layer pertains to radical Islamists. This identity layer has different conditions than the previous identity layer. The aforementioned layer, influenced by regional conditions and the conditions prevailing in the Islamic world, has been able to create an extensive front against the secular governments of the region. Our investigations in this research show that most Islamic currents in Central Asia lack any political or economic manifesto, or a plan for better governance and the creation of their future Islamic state; however, they are always seeking religious and social identity based on various ethnicities among different Central Asian countries in order to overcome the seventy-year deficiencies resulting from the dominance of Communists over this region.

Our investigations in this research show that most Islamic currents in Central Asia lack any political or economic manifesto, or a plan for better governance and the establishment of their future Islamic state; however, they are always seeking religious and social identity based on different ethnicities among the various countries of Central Asia, so that through this way, they can overcome the seventy-year deficiencies resulting from the dominance of Communists over this region.
Increasing understanding and awareness of the status of existing intellectual and epistemological currents in the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus can be a wayfinder and guide for many decisions and the adoption of political, economic, cultural, and even social policies for the Islamic Republic of Iran for its activities in the Central Asian countries.
Especially if the government attempts to encourage clerics to adopt a common viewpoint, the differences in perspectives and interests among religious elements provide the best way to support the creation and development of a secular state; therefore, the current revival of Sufism in Central Asia is considered a help toward creating this diversity and difference among Hanafi Muslims; in any case, if governments seek to use Sufi ideology as a means of gaining support for the purpose of religious tolerance and secular ideals, this could lead to the opposite result (Fallah, 2011: 70).
The manifest religion of Islam has played an important role in the history of Central Asian civilization and the creation of various intellectual-epistemological currents in this region and is considered one of its identity-making elements.
