The rhetoric of “return to the sources, abandoning the innovations (bidah)” has expressed by many schools of thought. All these efforts can be evaluated as the “self-renewal” in the context of the internal structure of Islam. In the history of the movement of rivavel, also, external influences have been seen. The period of these activities were concentrated in 19th and 20th centuries. In this period, the technical development of the Western, the claiming the Islam, as a religion, caused it, using this idea, as a tool the colonization of Islamic lands, Muslim scholars have been mobilized for the resurrection. In this regard, Afghani and Abduh who their names are very important in the Islamic revival movements again need to examine. Their ideas have influenced the Muslims societies in many aspects. Although interaction between Salafiyah and them, it is difficult to say there is a direct impact on the Salafiyah. In fact, Salafi movements have prevented true understanding of them. The revival movements should not limited specific names and limited area but also it must take into account the actors who lived in the Ottoman Empire
