Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the relationship, i.e., the conflict between Tradition and modernism in Nasr’s works. The disagreement in question will be presented through Nasr’s critiques of modernism from the traditional point of view, reflecting in the end on what Nasr means by traditional Islam which is inseparable in the context of this discourse. First, we present the meaning of Tradition and modernism, and then the response of Islam to the attack of modernism, i.e., the Muslim reaction. With that regard, it is inevitable to talk about modernized Muslims. Then we discuss the modern Western science and secularism and the obligation of religious thinkers. In the last part we address what is called traditional Islam. At the very end, we cite Nasr’s advices to Bosnian Muslims.
