Abstract
Central Asia represents one of the most significant cultural crossroads in world history, where Islamic civilization merged with indigenous traditions, nomadic lifestyles, Persian intellectual heritage, and Turkic cultural values. This article examines the intersection between Islam and culture in Central Asia through an interdisciplinary IMRAD framework, focusing on historical development, sociocultural transformation, identity formation, and contemporary societal challenges.
