The universal truth which is elaborated with liberalism, pluralism, rationalism, modernism, secularism, westernization, hedonism, and et cetera have become physiological striking forces against Muslim community in this modern era. Secular-liberalism has misconceived knowledge, religion, revelation, god and other keywords that define worldview on a civilization. Worldview is a value concept, motor of social change, foundation for understanding reality and scholarly activity, these all are found in Islam.

Ismail Raji al-Faruqi even argues that the islamization of islamic civilization must be taken through islamizing the knowledge
