al-nahda

Al-Nahda, meaning "The Renaissance," was a cultural and intellectual revival in the Arab world during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It focused on modernizing societies through education, arts, science, and political reform, inspired by European ideas but rooted in Arab identity. This movement aimed to strengthen local culture while embracing progress, leading to advancements in literature, education, and national consciousness. Al-Nahda played a key role in shaping modern Arab thought and fostering a sense of identity and independence.
