Abstract
This paper discusses Islamic modernism and the development of Islamic intellectualism. The method used is a descriptive analysis method using a historical approach. The aim is to determine the comparison of Islamic modernism and the development of Islamic intellectualism of Jamaluddin al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, and Muhammad Rasyid Ridha. First, the renewal of Jamaluddin Al-Afghani greatly appreciates the values of intellectualism that come from the West, especially in the fields of philosophy, science, and technology. He advised Muslims to develop reason and technology as has been adopted by Western nations. Jamaluddin Al-Afghani believes that mastering science, technology, and cultivating the scientific tradition of the Ummah will accelerate progress and increase the strength of Islam. Second, Muhammad Abduh's renewal is more focused on improving the fate and future of the Egyptian people. His thinking is more oriented to the aspects of education and the condition of Muslims. Education is very influential in the progress and awakening of Muslims in the field of science. Third, Rasyid Ridha developed a renewal of his thoughts which he got from Muhammad Abduh. Rasyid Ridha's thinking about renewal is more focused on the field of education. However, Rasyid Rida was less familiar with the traditions of Western thought than al-Afghani and Abduh.
