Islamic Egypt Literature

Egyptian scholars had an impact on other scholars, and from Egyptian scholars, scholars of Andalusia and Morocco learned Islamic and Arabic sciences. Egypt was very fortunate in its intellectual life, and its literary life, including poetry and prose, went along with it. However, the literary life in Egypt took a long time to flourish, and there is nothing strange about that. Egypt's transition after the Islamic conquest and the development of life in it did not happen all at once. Egypt was Christian in religion, so it became Islamic. It was Greek and Coptic in language, so it became Arabic, and all of this required a long time until this development stabilized and the Arabs mixed with the Egyptians. However, the beginnings of Egyptian literary life appeared during this transition and development, which heralded the flourishing of a fertile literary life starting from the Tulunid era, and literary maturity began and continued. In the Fatimid era and beyond.
