Al-Nahda Movement
The Al-Nahda Movement was a cultural and intellectual revival that emerged in the Arab world during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It aimed to modernize Arab society by promoting education, literature, and science, while also encouraging a return to the values of Islam and Arab heritage. Key figures included Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh, who sought to reconcile traditional beliefs with modern ideas.
This movement played a significant role in shaping Arab nationalism and fostering a sense of identity among Arab people. It inspired various reforms in education and governance, leading to the establishment of new institutions and the spread of modern thought across the region. The Al-Nahda Movement laid the groundwork for future political and social changes in the Arab world.
