Renaissance Party (Arabic: Hizb al-Nahda, also Hizb Ennahda; French: Parti de la Renaissance) is an un-authorized islamist opposition political party in Tunisia. Originally known as Islamic Action, the party changed its name to Movement of the Islamic Tendency, and then in 1989 Hizb al-Nahda.[1] Although traditionally shaped by the thinking of Sayyid Qutb and Maududi, starting in the 1980s they began to be described as moderate Islamist. They advocated democracy and a "Tunisian" form of Islamism which recognized political pluralism. They also discussed a "dialogue" with the West. These statements should not be misconstrued as they reject Western notions of liberal democracy and believe in an essentially Islamic constitution. Critics charge that one of their main leaders, named Rashid Al-Ghannushi, had a history of violence yet in courts he was accused by the ruling party of organizing a non authorized political party. Others say he supports any form multi-party democracy that offers a minimum of freedom for his party and followers. Al Nahda a party published the banned newspaper Al-Fajr. The editor of Al Fajr, Hamadi Jebali, was sentenced to sixteen years imprisonment in 1992 for membership of the un-authorized organisation and for "aggression with the intention of changing the nature of the state". Al Nahda members were allowed to stand in the 1989 elections but the movement was banned in 1991. The Arabic language television station El Zeitouna is believed to be connected with Al Nahda.

The reasons for the continued failure of the political, economic and cultural role in our society that entrenches the Islamists have their project to their Lord, national and humanity in their need to continue and develop in order to liberate the country and by the actual foundations of Islam fair in light of its narrow. It argued that this is a matter involving religion in the world of politics and that the entrance to a monopoly of the Islamic character and thus deny to others. That this understanding as well as the fact that it reflects the perception church intrusive to the original culture devoted continuity "modern" to the reality that existed in the historic loss of our nation. That "trend Islamic movement" does not present itself as a formal name of Islam in Tunisia nor covet days in attributing this title to it with the approval of the right of all Tunisians sincere in dealing with the official religion of the right build perception of Islam is so comprehensive that is the ideological ground that stems from the different visions of intellectual and political choices, economic and social factors that determine the identity of the movement and seized its strategic position and situational.
