This paper is shaped based on the question about the fall of Egypt and probable answers in the contemporary Egypt. (Question) With the fall of Cairo by Napoleon, this very question was raised amongst the Egyptian elites and three answers as westernism, nationalism, Islamic fundamentalism were mentioned. this research propose is that due to the incapability of these three ways to solve the issues like incompetency and lack of identity, the fourth answer as political Islam flourished which sought to eradicate above-written problems by presenting a new model. (Proposal) this model not only paid attention to the Islamic values, but also tried to put Islamic rationalism and modern rationalism into same direction. Therefore, Political Islam has been always involved with reviving Islamic identity as well as conforming it to global values. It should be noticed that one at times has been prioritized over the other, a process which is called transforming Islamic movement. This paper is to focus on the transformation of this movement under the two topics of “finding identity” and “adaptation” (Achievements).

The creation of different movements in region during last decades has led to huge amount of studies on these movements to distinguish their reason, state and aims. This essay focuses on descriptive-analytic method and comparative method to study Ikhvan al Moslemin movement and Fethullah Gülen movement, and to name their similarities and differences. The hypothesis is that these movements resemble in their methods and differ in the way of looking at religion and politics. The results of the study show that the two movements are different in subjects like religion, government and secularism and are similar in topics like democracy and mysticism. The results also certify that although the two movements have a world-inclusive aim, the Gülen movement included the whole world and Ikhvan al Moslemin movement included Islamic world only. It should be mentioned that although both of these movements have done economic, advertising and social activities, Ikhvan's social activities were more than Gülen's.

The events of North Africa, led to the overthrow of old dictatorships of Tunisia and Egypt are of the most interesting incidents of these years which have attracted the eyes of many scholars. The paper tries to take a new look at the causes of Egypt revolution in 2011 led to Hosni Mubarak overthrown. Thus, in order to find out the causes, the structural approach of neopatrimonialism is applied because it is believed that this approach can explain better the political, sociological and economic roots of the revolution altogether. In doing so, this hypothesis is going to be tested that The neo-patrimonial nature of the Egyptian government has led to the deterioration of the regime's ineffectiveness as a result of popular protests in 2011, with its specific characteristics, such as personal power, patronage, corruption, dependence on foreign power by manipulating the nature of civil society mechanisms such as parties, unions, the private sector.
