Throughout the history of Islam, 20 th century has an outstanding significance for two great events, which never occurred before, among them, the fall of Khilafat in Turkey and the rise of European powers and their domination in the fields of arms, natural sciences, and technology.

Because, till the fall of Khilafat, Islamic powers dominate the world in these fields and it was the first occasion in the whole Muslim history that the Khilafat was abolished totally. These two events shaken the whole Muslim world but with these worse catastrophes the most important aspect which impulse Islam with fresh endeavour is that, most of the reformist movements emerged during this period.
