Abstract

This paper explores the underexamined visit of Muhammad Abduh to Colonial Algeria, which took place from 27 August to 9 September 1903, just two years prior to his death. Despite the historical significance of Abduh’s visit, it has received limited scholarly attention. The initial direct engagement between Abduh and Algerian scholars occurred in 1882 during his encounter with al-Amīr Abdelkader in Damascus. This paper will revisit the historical and intellectual contexts surrounding Abduh’s 1903 visit to Algeria. It devolves into the objectives of the visit. Moreover, the paper examines the impact of this visit on the reformed-minded ‘ulama, exploring whether it sparked any notable transformations within this group of reformists. Additionally, the paper investigates whether the visit faced resistance from anti-reformist ‘Ulama, shedding light on potential conflicts and opposition. And finally, it will examine how French authorities responded to and managed the visit.
