This article analyzes the influence of contemporary materialistic and
secular worldviews on human faith and spiritual consciousness. The study examines
modern forms of materialism, including scientism, moral relativism, secularism, and
consumer culture, as well as their theological and ethical consequences. Furthermore,
the historical formation of kalam theology, its defensive role in protecting Islamic creed,
and its methodological foundations based on the harmony of reason and revelation
are discussed. Special attention is given to the Maturidi school and its methodological
relevance in addressing contemporary ideological and theological challenges. The
article concludes that kalam theology remains an essential methodological system for
strengthening theological stability and ideological immunity in modern Muslim societies.
