Abstract

This article traces the history of al-Azhar in the XIXth century, from the French Expedition of Bonaparte in 1798 to the first few decades of the XXth century. This constitutes a period wich is key to the understanding of the adaptation of the traditional mosqueuniversity to a new ideological and social context wich led to the creation of the modern Egyptian state. The article deals with the reforms that were made with regards to four major aspects. Firstly, the azhari involvement in the political movements of the period. Secondly, the reform of the property laws. Thirdly, the introduction of western secular legislation, and finally, the reforms wich affected the field of education, where al-Azhar had traditionaly held the monopoly.
