Focusing on the experiences of Muslims in socialist Uzbekistan, this work explores the complexities of faith in a post-World War II Soviet context. It highlights the failure of the Soviet atheistic project and its impact on the diverse meanings of Islam. Through a blend of official documents and unpublished ethnographic accounts, the narrative reveals stories of resilience and resistance against enforced secularism. It captures the community's connection to the divine, including their relationships with prophets, saints, and spiritual entities.
