Malek Bennabi (1905-1973 AD) (corresponding to 1323 AH-1393 AH) is one of the most prominent figures in Islamic thought in the twentieth century.

The Algerian thinker Malek Bennabi is considered one of the pioneers of the Islamic intellectual renaissance in the twentieth century and can be considered an extension of Ibn Khaldun. He is considered one of the most contemporary thinkers who have drawn attention to the need to address the problems of civilization.

Malek Bennabi’s efforts in building modern Islamic thought and in studying civilizational problems in general were distinguished, both in terms of the topics he addressed and in terms of the methods he adopted in that.

Bennabi was the first researcher to try to define the dimensions of the problem, identify the basic elements of reform, and move away from the symptoms in the search. He was also the first to deposit a specific method in researching the problem of Muslims based on psychology, sociology, and the law of history.
