This research paradigm uses a descriptive qualitative approach with descriptive and deductive methods.  The data source used is the interpretation of Al-Manar by Muhammad Abduh and Muhammad Rasyid Ridha, by analyzing the biographies of both of them as well as the social issues alluded to in the interpretation of Al-Manar.  The results found, that the idea was motivated by the decline of Muslims and influenced by the empiricism of Muhammad Abduh and Muhammad Rasyid Ridha.  Meanwhile, from the social issues contained in Al-Manar's interpretation, all of them refer to the optimization of reason as a source of knowledge.
