Abstract :Humanity is facing a new crisis in many areas, we need to refl ect on the conception of a new civilization that could bring peace. Western civilization made people enemy of other people with materialist-positivist knowledge, science conceived understanding and built on them in understanding the socio-political space without religious and secular values. Islam sent to Hz. Muhammad pbuh , in this context, Islam preached moral and social thought as not only a religion in the sense of preaching, at the same time it Islam changed the mentality of a cut. In a short time it has created a unique and original civilization for itself. Therefore the creation of civilization itself with reckoning Sassanid, Greek / Byzantine and Sino-Indian civilization and in a short time a unique knowledge how it created its own civilization should be examined. For centuries Islam provided peace to people from different languages, races and religious thoughts. However, it lost position nowadays as a religion and as a civilization, so what can we do to resurrect Islam again? To rediscover the institutions of our lost civilization we should focus the codes of Turkistan/ mainland and Turkey/motherland context. Additionally, we should create proper solutions to actual questions with philosophy of knowledge and science, try to conceive them and need to work to set them to life. The concept of delivering public offi cial Islamic formed by Hanafi jurisprudence and theological Maturidy with their internalization from the ways of Hodja Ahmad Yassawi should be re-read.
