current Western civilization is a universal civilization, which poses challenges to
Islam at every stage of life. The current civilization has not only given the
military and political defeat to the Muslims, but is also facing a social and
cultural defeat. There are two types of people who have appeared in this situationone who has not embraced its principles and maintain its Islamic identity and the
other who have recognized the Western development, western sciences and
Western culture and tried to Islamize these developments. The first class has
secured the principles of Islam, while the second class has adopted the principles
of the West and labeled them Islam.Generally speaking, the paper discusses the
response of Muslim modernists to the assault of modernity
