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).
