History of Modern Islam in Egypt and the Challenges of Secularization

Abstract

The history of modern Islam in Egypt is a story of great transformation that combines the heritage of Islamic civilization with contemporary social, political, and cultural dynamics. In this article, we analyse the development of modern Islam in Egypt through two main theoretical frameworks, namely the Historical Theory of Islamic Civilization and the Theory of Islamic Law. Using these two theories, this article seeks to examine how the influence of classical Islamic civilization interacted with the changing times, as well as how Islamic law was understood and applied in a modern context. The study reveals that despite the significant changes that Egypt has undergone, its firmly held Islamic identity remains an important foundation in the country's social and political development.
