Muhammad al Muwaylihi

The nameplate or masthead of Al-Urwah al-Wuthqa, an anti-colonial Islamic revolutionary journal which al-Muwaylihi helped to publish in Paris.

Muḥammad al-Muwayliḥī (; born 1858, died 1930) was an Egyptian author and journalist of the Nahda. He edited and published Fatra Min az-Zamān, a serialized literary work of social and political satire, compiled and published as a book entitled Hadith Isa bin Hisham in 1907. In at least two dedicated articles, al-Muwayliḥī accused Shawqi of a kind of experimentation he considered heretical: he saw Shawqi's publishing of an autobiography as boastful and unprecedented in Arabic poetry; his prose, unbecoming of a poet whose single expressive voice should be poetry; his Western influence from his studies in Europe, "repugnant" and unworthy of the proud Arabic poetic tradition.
