Öz
Postmodernity which is still occupying the agenda of The West, takes effect in almost every social sphere. This influence is becoming widespread in not only The West but also İslamic society. Ambiguous and undefined structure of postmodernity increased its power more after combining with capitalism. This power increase penetrates the social life of religious Muslims who are trying to constitute a faith-based life style.
Postmodern approaches carry religions and life style of religious people to decentralization through fashion events of the day besides of causing a deconstruction on everything. This decentralization affects religious people gradually through political, economic and social changes. Especially certain and specific principles revealed by the religion become like an individual choice against the subjectivity of postmodernity. These changes are still perceived as modernism. However, Turkey has already experienced postmodern cases together with the civilizations taken as a model by Turkey.
