Summary/Abstract: The questioning of religion and the religious has taken all religions under its influence as a result of the acceleration brought by globalization. This data is an indication that Muslims are also included in this scope. Therefore, the stormy activity that globalization has brought to the religious field has led to fluctuations in all religions, primarily Abrahamic / Heavenly religions. The wave of globalization, which hits the shores of religions in different sizes, first manifests itself in the context of beliefs. Mechanization, Enlightenment thought and modernization, which are accepted as the main causes of globalization, have caused a change in religious perception as well as giving a different impetus to many values since their beginnings. Developments such as rationalization, modernization and post-modernization not only triggered each other, but also gave birth to secularization and its certain extensions. There may be positive or negative dimensions of the transformation process in religion, which is under the influence of globalization, which shapes all kinds of values and phenomena.
