- Muhammad AL-WAHHAB (conservative family, ruling in Saudi Arabia) allies with the AL-SAUD family -> they want to re-establish the strict monotheism -> they destroyed the tomb of the Prophet in Medina (because he was seen as a “saint” and this was similar to polytheism).
- introduction of the TANZIMAT: it means that the Ottomans recognize that there is something wrong in the system.
- 1805-49: Muhammad Ali frees Egypt -> the Sultan of Ottoman empire asks him to defend him from the al-Saud and Wahhabites, spreading in Syria and Lebanon -> Ali wins and asks for the autonomy for his reign from the authority of the Ottoman empire

Agreement with the Sultan: the son of Muhammad Ali will have the right to inherit the government of Egypt.
- al-Tahtawi creates the national SCHOOL SYSTEM.
