The Western influence on Islamic thought began significantly after the middle of the nineteenth century, and the thinkers were divided. There were those who rejected this incoming thought altogether and in detail, and those who saw the possibility of benefiting from Western thought in general, for the advancement of Islamic and Arab society to catch up with the Western civilization that preceded it a lot. It was the main problem. Which faced thinkers since the beginning of the so-called Arab renaissance in the nineteenth century, trying to search for the authentic Islamic identity in the midst of this well-armed Western attack at all levels and restoring confidence to the Muslim individual in the possibility of advancing by relying on the authentic Islamic heritage, especially in the first era of Islam.
Many believe that the thinkers of the Arab renaissance in the nineteenth century were seeking to catch up with the West, imitate them, or copy their enlightenment experience, and the owners of this trend believe that the experience of a number of renaissance men such as Rifaa al-Tahtawi and al-Afghani especially when they traveled to France, supports this trend, but studying the thought of these enlightened people clarifies That they had intellectual independence consistent with the morals and thought of the prevailing Arab society at the time, that the men of reform who visited France all tried to bring the vision of the West closer in managing the state and in building society, and transferring it to the Arab surroundings, and their calls were looking for a solution to a crisis that had lasted for centuries.
