Freemasons in the Middle East, including Egypt, have a rich history that began in the 19th century. European-influenced Masonic lodges soon became attractive to local elites and spread to various countries.
The association of Freemasons, which is associated with the name of the Muslim reformer Jamal ad-Din Afghani, played a significant role in the political life of Egypt. The article discusses the political activities of Masonic lodges operating in Egypt and Jamal ad-Din al-Afghani’s political life in 1871-1879. To study the activities of the Muslim thinker, the primary sources that tell us about Al-Afghani’s activity in that period, biographical studies about Al-Afghani, and existing studies about Freemasons are used.
