Muhammad Abid Al Jabiri is a lecturer in Islamic philosophy and thought at the Faculty of Literature, Muhammad V University, Rabat, Morocco. Born in Figuig, Southeast Morocco, 1936. He first entered a religious school, then a national private school (madrasa hurrah wathaniah) founded by the independence movement. One of Abid al-Jabiri's thoughts was about modernity, he was ambitious to build an epistemology new in accordance with the development of society today.

He was dissatisfied with the renewal efforts undertaken by Muslim intellectuals such as the Salaf movement, which he said were too glorifying the achievements of the past so that they tended to ignore the social relations of the people.

Modernity understood by al-Jabiri is a rebellion against the traditions of the past, of past and present traditions, in order to create a form of tradition.
