Abstract

The emergence of various social and cultural issues in Islamic Iran in many decades and centuries has caused many thinkers from different theoretical perspectives and with different scientific frameworks to describe, analyze and explain this fundamental and wide-ranging problem and provide various solutions to improve the situation. Ali Shariati is one of the thinkers who has analyzed this issue from the perspective of the decline of Muslims, because his approach to Islam is influenced by his sociological and historical education. In response to the fundamental question of what was the reason for the decline of Muslims, Shariati first raises the issue of distancing himself from true Islam, then deals with the causes of deviation from it and its role in the decline of Muslims, and finally, provides solutions for returning to true Islam. In his opinion, among the various causes and factors that have led to deviation from true Islam, the change in the ideology of Islam is the main and most fundamental cause, and as a result, returning to the ideology of Islam is the most difficult solution and the main responsibility for it lies with the intellectuals.
