These movements are seeking for revive Islamic identity in concurrent world relying on Islam as an intellectual origin and saviour paradigm. They have been emerged in response to one or more factors such as West colonization, intellectual decline and domestic autarky, hasty secularization of Islamic societies, military defeats of Muslims from aliens. Some authors employ various terms such as fundamentalism, radicalism to present such movements; however, such terms are not viable to represent detailed and comprehensive nature of contemporary Islamic movements. Principally, contemporary Islamic movements may be categorized to various factions depended on their intellectual foundations and theological approaches and each of them contains multiples groups in turn.
