This study addresses the issue of the crystallization of national renaissance thought in Egypt with the arrival of the reformist thinker Jamal al-Din al-Afghani to Egypt in March 1871 from Istanbul (now Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire. He was welcomed by Khedive Ismail, the ruler of Egypt and Sudan at the time, due to his desire to benefit from al-Afghani’s knowledge to establish a higher school for scientific and literary religious reform, in addition to al-Afghani’s reputation for opposing European control over the wealth of Egyptians. Egypt, which became clear since the year 1876 AD, and Al-Afghani’s tendency toward democratic rule and opposition to dictatorial rule did not worry Khedive Ismail due to his absolute rule of the country. On the other hand, Britain had taken firm and deliberate steps to occupy Egypt and control its wealth, even if by armed force. In order to get rid of the reform movement in Egypt, it forced the Ottoman Sultan “Abdul Hamid II” to depose Khedive Ismail in order to avoid establishing democratic rule and parliamentary life as one of the repercussions of the reform movement in Egypt. In September 1882, with the completion of Britain’s occupation of Egypt by armed force under the pretext of protecting Khedive Tawfiq, advocates of reformist thought and leaders The National Movement, with its three currents: the revolutionary, such as Ahmed Orabi and Adeeb Ishaq, the constitutional, such as Muhammad Sharif and Abdul Salam Al-Maliji, and the Islamist, such as Muhammad Abduh, were all students of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani. Indeed, Britain got rid of them and exiled them outside the country, and ruled Egypt with iron and fire to frustrate the Egyptians’ resolve towards any reform of any kind. Its ideology towards Egypt aimed to completely control the Egyptian economy with its natural and human resources, make Egypt a market for British products, and extend its influence. Al-Kamil is on the strategic Suez Canal corridor for British navigation, as 70% of its foreign trade passes through it.
