description The presence of classic colonialism in Muslim countries bought a common feeling of helplessness and serious backwardness in Muslim communities. It caused a continuous intellectual challenges in different fields between intellectual and political elites of the Islamic societies, to find a solution and remedy for that. In Egypt, for the first time this mental controversy due to comparison between Egypt’s inferiority and West’s superiority came in light and was expressed by Muhammad Ali Pasha. By reviewing his reformative measures it can be understood that according to his view point, the origins of European power were rooted in their success and hold on modern science and technology. Therefore, the formation of reformative policies of Muhammad Ali Pasha was based on western model and pursuing their policies.
