Abstract

Abstract:
This research deals with the life of one of the leading Islamic thinkers,
religious reformers and politicians, named Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, who had
several serious stances regarding the conditions that prevailed in the Islamic
world in the nineteenth century, including weakness, internal disintegration
and colonial assertions from abroad. Therefore, this research focused on his
role in the foreign colonization of Egypt during the era of the Khedivial
Dynasty during the reign of Ismail Pasha (1863-1879), and after him Tawfiq
Pasha (1879-1992).
He followed in that preaching and guidance to the people of Egypt,
reminding them that they are a free people who cannot submit to the weak government, nor to the colonialism that came to Egypt in order to plunder its
goods.
