دو رهیافت متفاوت در جریان بازگشت به اسلام در جهان عرب

The political in the Arab world has been affected from
fundamentalist and modernist schools of thought from
Mohammad Ibn Abd-Alwahhab and Sayyid Jamaloddin
Asadabadi, respectively . The present article has focused
on the two contemparary repersentatives of these
thoughts, namely, Said Ghótb and Malek Ibn Nabi.
Although both of them intend to return to true Islam,
but they are fundemantally different in terms of their
convictions and worldviews. Fundematalism, from Said
Ghótb's point of view is anti-intellect and denies any
social issues in the context of materialism, civiliztions and
modernity which have been taken from the West. He
believed that materialism has no attention to spirituality
and morality. On the other side religious modernism
based on the thoughts of Malek Ibn Nabi, is an
intellectual , pragmatical and critical Thought which
believes that undevelopment is the most important issue
of Muslem societies. He accepts that the western
modernity has many positive lessons to learn. In fact
religious fundemantalism works on forms, while the
other one focuses on the essence of human issues in the
two levels of internal affairs and confrontation with the
West.
