Al-Azhar has been the beacon of the world for a thousand years

Al-Azhar (university and university) enjoys a great position in medieval and contemporary Egyptian history, a position that has not been achieved by any other Egyptian institution. Al-Azhar Mosque had a prominent role in leading the Egyptian national movement against colonialism, and demonstrations were emerging from it. It was also a rich spring from which culture drew and was gained. Much of it enriched it and confirmed its originality and distinction.If Al-Azhar is mentioned, Cairo is mentioned, and the memory goes back more than a thousand years, when the Fatimids entered Egypt and built Cairo, taking it as the capital of their new state. They established Al-Azhar Mosque to be a symbol of their spiritual sovereignty and a platform for their religious call that the new state tried to promote in Egypt.
