In this study, the religious scholars who belong to the Circassian people who came from the homeland of Kayseri Uzunyayla who were detained from the homeland of the North Caucasus and who were educated mainly in al-Ezher University of Egypt, returned to the regions where they were enrolled after the education process and then they were placed in the Circassian society and socio- structure and their interactions. One of the key points of the work is accepting the existence of a multidimensional and mutual interaction between education and socio-cultural structure. The work-related data were obtained mainly through interviews with relatives of religionists residing in Uzunyayla region and village residents. Although the entry of Islam into the region of the North Caucasus, which is the homeland of the Circassian people, the traces of the polytheistic belief system, and partly the existence of the Christian acides, has long occurred, the rooted, conservative and strong cultural structure of the Circassians, The Circassians remained relatively distant from their religious experience, and were also unable to feed themselves from religious sources.The post-exile period was the beginning of a period in which Islamic beliefs were predominantly influential. Especially in the context of the lack of knowledge, the different villages of the Kayseri Uzunyayla region have gone to the al-Ezher University in Egypt, especially for religious education. The clergy who returned to the lands they lived in after the training period became influential in the changes in the traditional cultural structure of the Circassian people as well as being a model in the context of religious life for the surrounding people, influencing their surroundings and teaching them to teach as they taught in the glass. They have also carried out a carrier function in a cultural sense as they did not exclude their own culture.
