الأزهر الشريف مركز استقطاب العلماء الجزائريين خلال العهد العثماني

الملخص EN

The journeys in seeking knowledge to scientific centers and institutes during the Ottoman era were considered a basic pillar in the educational achievement of students, scholars and jurists.

For that, a large number of Algerian scholars at the time were keen to visit the Al-Azhar Mosque in Egypt and settle for some time in order to continue their educations there, as it is one of the most important scientific and cultural institutions in the Arab East at all.

They received in its space various types of religious and mental sciences from top sciences, strive to obtain academic degrees, and discuss with their colleagues in several issues.

In addition to checking out the bookcases and benefiting from its treasures, among others, if the scientist who traveled from them completed his studies, he would become one of the flags of his time, and a destination for scholars from all areas.

In that case, he has to choose between two matters: either return to his country and devote himself to writing and teaching, or staying in Egypt and occupying high positions such as taking over the sheikhdom on the Magharebas' gallery and looking into his endowments.
