Muhammad Ali Pasha | Muhammad Ali of Egypt
Mohamed Ali Pasha
He was a common soldier who advanced to leadership through his military skills and political vision. In 1799 he commanded a Turkish army in an unsuccessful attempt to drive Napoleon from Egypt. As Pasha, he was essentially independent of his nominal overlord, the Ottoman sultan. He improved his armed forces and administration, created schools, and began many public works, especially irrigation projects.
Muhammad Ali modernized education, ordering the translation of European books on a large scale, protecting children against disease and offering them medical care, conducting censuses, and undertaking huge public works projects that established cotton as a key Egyptian cash crop, which remains today. Early in his career, he controlled the spread of fundamentalist Wahhabi Islam from the Arabian Peninsula.
Modern Egypt | Mohamed Ali Mosque
Often known as Mehmed Ali, Muḥammad ʿAlī was the viceroy and pasha of Egypt (1805–48), founding the dynasty that ruled the country from the start of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th. He was born in Kavala, Macedonia, Ottoman Empire [now in Greece] in 1769 and passed away in Alexandria, Egypt, on August 2, 1849.
Mohamed Ali Mosque, as we know it by the name the Alabaster Mosque, is one of Egypt's most impressive mosques. It reaches the tallest point within the Citadel of Saladin. The creator who was Yousif Boushnaq was of Turkish origin and had been brought from Istanbul to build this exceptional mosque for Mohamed Ali, the founder of Modern Egypt who ruled from 1805 till 1849 A.D.
