Summary/Abstract: Re-interpreting of entirety cultural results - from dreams to religion, through art and morality - changes culture by giving it the power of self-reflection. The false meaning of "text of society" is exposed by the overall implementation of the criticism on skepticism. The discussion between self-conscious thinkers, about the social construction of knowledge and the different meanings of its outcome, deals with the questions below: Are we able, in general, to know something and how we can know it, how we are treated as the subject of knowledge and who benefits from it, for which it is claimed, known in the best form. So, the conversation about what the text means and how it decides its meaning is inseparable from what meaning the reader wants the certain text to have. This article tries to polemize the issue of re-interpretation and re-reading of traditional Islamic religious texts in the mirror of contemporary discourse, the way the veil is lifted, and the meaning of the same.
