Abstract
The ideology of Sh. Marjani can be divided into two layers: religious reformist, which comes out to 70-ies of the XIX century, and educational of 70-80-ies. Religious reformist views of Marjani, by reflecting some kind of adaptation of religion to the changing reality, included as a theoretical basis the concept of «opening the doors of ijtihad», as well as a reference to the days of Muhammad (the Qur'an, the Sunnah, the words of mujtahids). Marjani's goal was "purifying" Islam from later accretions and reforming of the teaching in madrasah. Marjani's enlightenment project included thoughts about the necessity of getting secular education, assimilation of the progressive heritage of the past (Ancient and Arab-Muslim thought) and present (Russian and Western culture) by Tatar people. Marjani was a religious reformer and educator at the same time.
