The leading method of studying this problem is the method of radical constructivism according to which "knowledge" does not reflect reality, and designs it from sources available to the researcher. Results of research demonstrate that distinctions of views are caused by lack of the standard conceptual framework. Often scientists use different terms, meaning one and the same phenomenon, or on the contrary use one term, meaning different once. All these occur because the researchers treat the phenomenon of Muslim culture from positions of European civilization which, though possesses an adequate conceptual framework for its own history, suffers from lameness if it tries to squeeze the Islamic world into a close framework of the western terminology. Materials of the paper can be useful to the staff of the ministries and departments working with the Islamic religious organizations and also for all interested in modern processes in Islam.
