Abstract: As it is observed in many occasions, the world needs new tendencies and approach on the human relationship. The world as a big globe requires putting together a new social, cultural, economical etc. construction. This new current transforms local cultures and religions into the universal cultures and religions. We can assert that, the globalism is the providing power of this new current. But it is very hard to say that globalism can create complete, comprehensive and justice system in the world because of some dominant religions and cultures throughout the world, for example Christianity and the culture of consumption in the developed countries. In according to many Muslim thinkers, the religion is this which will save the man from their complete failure. But it must be discuss which religion can take part in this noble presentation? Actually, the religious principles that were discharged from the social life have remained face to face with the threat of lose its essence progressively. Some of them are dissolved, and some are evaporated. I think it is the real dangerous for the conservative societies all over the world. Having the world's bad luck reversed we must try to obtain the real meaning/kerygme of the holy text (the Holy Book at first and the Noble Quran secondly). Every pious in these religions must try to understand his/her sacred texts and performance his/her religious deeds. In this paper, it is intended to show that the unique ray of hope for rescue of the world (especially we must mention Islamic world) is to protect our sacred Book's originality in its traditional meaning but its modern forms. It is not a negative traditionalism that denies its history and refuses its roots. On the contrary, it is a modern, conservative and complete realistic, humanistic approach.
