Article summary: 

The author states that the deterioration of the Azhar's role in general is a result of various factors, and the most important is the emergence of political Islamist groups.

He believes that the policy adopted by Dr. Ahmad al-Tayīb, Grand Shaykh of the Azhar, augurs well about a change in the largest Sunni Islam establishment although this would inevitably lead to clashes with salafists.
