Abstract :Studies on the religious structure of Anatolia in recent years have not gone beyond a sterile research. The fact that the works written on this subject, which is of utmost importance about the religious structures of the states, follow the ideological approaches of the researchers or that the dominant works are not examined in the selection of the source on the subject, this has caused the subject to be handled within the framework of a certain pattern. However, it is extremely important to consider the religious structures of the Seljuks, who started to settle in Anatolian lands for various reasons and turned this place into a Turkish homeland, from an impartial point of view in order to understand and solve today\'s problems. Seyfullah Kara also wrote this work in order to examine the religious life and religious institutions of at least one period of Anatolia due to the said deficiencies in the researches on the religious structures of the Seljuks. In this work, the author has examined the religious institutions of the Anatolian Seljuks, as well as the process and reasons for the Seljuks to become Muslims. In this work, which is extremely important in terms of Seljuk history, the author also included the effects of religion on the state and people during the Anatolian Seljuk period.Keywords : Selçuklular, Anadolu Selçukluları, Dini yapı
