Abstract

Westernisation has been proven to have an influence on Islamic thought, starting from this problem, thus, this research is conducted with the aim of fostering a critical attitude towards new things that scientific experts across religions and civilisations are trying to offer with full awareness and vigilance. The result of this research is that there is a westernised invasion of the thoughts of Muslim scholars, as in Mohammed Arkoun's discourse regarding the desacrality and deconstruction of the Quran, where his thoughts have challenged various principles and foundations of the Quran and alienated Muslims from Islamic values, which have later been replaced by various approaches from the West. Arkoun's thinking certainly cannot be justified, because Allah has clearly stated many times that the Quran is the word of Allah that has been sent down to the Prophet Muhammad SAW in lafadz and meaning, where nothing can match or change it. This is proven and can be seen in terms of the miracles of the Quran through the various aspects which further show the truth that the Quran is not the result of a human being. In fact, if you pay attention to the Quran, it is conveyed through a strict guarding tradition that is repeated continuously today, both verbally by Quran memorisers and in writing. Hence, this is also evidence of the majesty and holiness of the Quran, which is continuously maintained, as Allah's promise is embodied in His word,” that We are the ones who sent down the Quran and We will also protect it”. Accordingly, the research method that is used is the theory of data analysis through qualitative methods, where the required data have come from a research library, namely through collecting various sources of references or references through literature review, in the form of books, journals, articles and other scientific works.
