In this article, the writer attempts to attain to the Qur’an’s view on cultural relativity. In this in-religious discourse, he addresses those who claim that the Qur’an does not have an absolute concern with various cultures and even the path of each prophet is introduced as an indeterminate noun (a path-sirat), rather than “the Right Path” (al-Sirat al-Mustaqim), and this means the existence of right paths, not the Right Path. The writer quotes some of the verses that imply the cultural relativity and then deals with the verses that bring the basic claims of cultural relativity into question. The writer distinguishes between globalization as meaning intransitively and transitively, considering the former as favorable and the latter, which is being imposed (on humanity) with exclusiveness of information and through electronic networks, as oppressive and derogatory to other cultures which do not enjoy equal media possibilities. International institution pressure by economic and military powers in this regard works as a pressure means acting upon developing countries. Also in this article, socio-political viability and tolerance without commitment to cultural and ideological relativity is considered as possible.
