After the intellectual and cultural awakening of Islamic societies in the last two centuries, a number of Muslim intellectuals and thinkers, and even religious leaders who were faced with the great wave of scientism and scientific progress in the Western world, made many reform efforts to adapt and harmonize the Islamic world with the Western world. They formed two different spectrums based on the level of benefit of the reformers and modernists from the original Islamic beliefs and the way they were influenced and passive towards new scientific ideas, which were of varying intensity and weakness. The first group of extreme modernists, with their self-deprecation and obsession with science and neglect of the humanistic and liberal foundations of the Western world after the scientific renaissance, highlighted the dominant tendency and strategy of conflict and distinction between science and religion in its common sense in the Judeo-Christian West. These two groups, through expedient oversimplifications and hasty acceptance of certain scientific principles, along with superficial interpretations of religious foundations, steered in two different directions: one toward passivity and cultural estrangement, and the other toward religious tolerance and compromise, even at the expense of core Islamic principles. This article critically examines the perspectives of selected intellectuals and thinkers from both camps, using foundational methodology and available library-based resources.
