Ideologies are directly albeit not always perceptibly related to methodological
and epistemological themes. Social psychology also reveals that knowledge
depends upon the policy of rejection or incorporation of various philosophies.
In the journey of human thought dawned the age of reason with the Era of
Enlightenment. Gradually, universal values and the scientific method gained
supremacy. And then all the grand narratives stood redundant and rejected,
giving rise to the need to re-search, re-analyze, and re-think every work done
thus far with the aim to de-construct the now-discarded. This research studies
the greatly admired post structural theory of deconstruction and its proponents
in the Muslim civilizations to evaluate its impact on contemporary Muslim
thought. The rationale of the study is a critical appraisal of the theoretical
concepts in the Muslim world in response or reaction to the current
epistemological influences from the West. This exploration led to the
conclusion that the scholars of the Islamic world missed the point by going a
bit too far as the Holy Quran and collections of authentic Ahadith explicitly
state what Muslims should reject or incorporate. The remedy comprises in
updating the conventional way of thinking and interpreting things, acquiring
the ability to think the unthinkable and the previously unthought, honest hard
word, incessant striving for excellence, as well as discarding getting
overwhelmed by whatever gains ‘currency’ in the largely impulsive Western
thought.
