Islamic

Here we will go through the history of Islam in Egypt from the introduction of Islam to Egypt when In the 7th century, the Rashidian Caliphate Omar Ibn Elkhatab ordered Amr ibn al-As to march to Egypt to secure Palestine and get rid of the byzantine empire armies in this area saving the Egyptian Coptic population from roman catholic terror over them, marking a pivotal moment. The Amr ibn al-As Mosque in Cairo, recognized as Africa’s oldest, stands as a testament to this historical shift. Egypt’s transition to Islam and Arabic as a main language took at least 2 centuries.
