There were investigated problems of religious education in the former Soviet republics which now are independent states. Radically changes in the legislation on freedom of conscience and religious associations in these countries led to transformations of relationships between the state and religion in the sphere of education. So the content of the religious component in curriculum caused a heated discussion among educators and in society. The forms and methods of its implementation in modern school practice are not sufficiently developed with such rapid changes in training that led to an exacerbation of the relationship between parents and the school administration. The problem of combining religious and secular components was considering in an interdisciplinary perspective. Particular attention was paid to the interdisciplinary integration of training primarily in the post-Soviet space. The goal was to create of curriculum recommendations to different Russian regions in which one religion prevails. Virtually all countries have a religious component. There is practically no interdisciplinary connection in school programs. There is the basic Church in the post-Soviet space and, as a rule, this component is included in the basic education. Questioning students showed that parents are more religious than children. As a rule, the religious component has cultural, ethnic and moral aspects to a greater extent than the confessional one.

The article discusses the current state of Islamic education in Russia, the processes preceding its modernization and its stages over the last few decades. The increased attention to Islamic education is associated with those geopolitical changes and globalization processes which take place in the modern world in recent decades. These processes are responsible for the need to consider the prospects of the development of Islamic education from the perspective of multi-polarity and taking into account the changing role of the Muslim countries, occupying today a solid niche in the global world and offering an alternative to the Western model of civilization development. Modern education is formed and developed in a multicultural society. This is a characteristic feature of today's world and an important detail of Russian reality. The tasks of education are not only to transfer knowledge and teach people to professional skills, but also to form their spiritual world and develop their personal qualities. Islamic education is not an outsider of this trend; it is also aimed at personal development and the formation of professional competencies. The successful development of the Islamic education system in Russia, its interaction with the secular one has its own socio-cultural characteristics, which are expressed in the integrative movement of relations between two systems: Islamic (religious) and secular education. The historical foundations of their modern interaction are based on the long-term experience of living in the common territory of peoples and communities with different religions, which contributed to the formation of a multicultural society in Russia. Consolidation of efforts of Islamic educational organizations and state secular structures is due to the need to disseminate reliable information about Islamic culture and its heritage, to fulfill the tasks of countering extremist ideology.
