THE LIFE AND ACTIVITY OF SHEIKH MUHAMMAD ABDO, THE CREATOR OF ARAB-MUSLIM THOUGHT OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is a holistic study of the life and scientific work of the Islamic reformer and modernist Sheikh Muhammad Abdo. To substantiate the thesis that Muhammad Abdo’s modernism is a synthesis of Islam and modern thought. The socio-philosophical works of the thinker were aimed at uniting civilizations and overcoming contradictions and conflicts. To show that Muhammad Abdo’s activities were multifaceted, he especially clearly showed his talent in the educational sphere, in reforming the system of higher religious education and journalism.
