    Annotation The necessity to study the discourse of Islam in the context of French postcolonial novels remains the actual problem because postcolonial French literature, as an artistic reflection of reality, becomes a kind of prism through which the literature can look into the Islamic world. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the discourse of Islam in French postcolonial novels of Mustapha Tlili's “Glory of the Sands”, Ahmadou Kourouma's “Allah is not obliged” and Yasmina Khadra's “The Attack”. The image of Islam in postcolonial French literature is mediated, this image was refracted in the individual creative vision of the author's world, but it forms the image of Islam among the world and the French reader. Here were identified three main discourses of Islam - “Secular Islam”, “Islam as the religion of its roots” and “Islam as a way of life”. The materials of this paper may be interesting and useful for those who are interested in French literature of the postcolonial period and religious studies.
