JEJAK ISLAM MODERN DI MESIR

This paper discusses modern Islam in Egypt, looking at the journey of the entry of Islam to the emergence of modern Islamic thinkers in the region. This study uses library research with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that Egypt only became an Islamic city when Umar became caliph. Over time, Egypt has developed in the modern era, which is marked by the emergence of reformist figures. Reform in Egypt proves that Islam can answer the problems of society in all ages, and Islamic teachings can make a positive contribution to every development of the era. Reform occurs in various fields, one of which is education, which can also have an impact on improving the social, economic, and military conditions of the country. Some figures who became pioneers of Islamic reform with their respective ideas include Muhammad Ali Pasha, Rifa'ah Badawi Rafi' At-Tahtawi, Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Qasim Amin, Muhammad Rasyid Ridha, Ali Mubarak, Thaha Husein, and Hasan Al-Banna.
