Abstract EN

ABSTRACT This research addresses an important problematic issue in Islamic Arabic thought that is the role of elite in thwarting to change the reality of Islamic society which suffers from retraction and recession in front of the western remarkable development besides the domination of its education on the Islamic scene.

Among the characters who response to review the vital question at that time 'Why do westerns advanced whereas Arabs return back?' were Jamal Al-deen Al-Afgany and Mohamad Abda who work as renovators in the frame of intellectuality to go over this problematic issue through their writings and roles in returning the society to its previous civilized and knowledgeable face in the middle ages before the downfall of Baghdad by Al-Magool
