Abstract

The Koran was revealed in an atmosphere replete with ignorance, superstition, tribal and ethnical prejudices, in a polytheistic belief system, heathen thoughts etc. In such an environment, in order to make cultural change, the Koran dissolved the past cultural storages, presented and elucidated its own key layers , constants , rejuvenated the men’s life , directed ideals , values , this way prevailed over their culture , gave a divine structure , aspect to it; because among cultures, a culture that can get the elements of another culture, absorb and change them into a structure commensurate with itself; this is a culture’s growth and life; like when with the advent of Islam, the Holy Koran confronted the rest of ignorant cultures; that is, it embraced many cultural elements of ignorance and absorbed them inside itself and then gave them a Koranic structure, a divine aspect in other words.
