The influence of Turkish culture on Egyptian literature, especially modern literature, cannot be overlooked. With the collapse of the Mamluk state, Egypt remained a part of the Ottoman Empire for three centuries until the modern era. While Turkish literature draws inspiration from ancient Oghuz, Islamic, and Western cultures, Egyptian literature has been nourished by ancient Pharaonic, Arab, and Islamic cultures to demonstrate its cultural and Eastern identity in the fields of science and literature. Developing under the influence of the West and evolving into various literary forms, modern Egyptian and Turkish literature are almost parallel in terms of their development of literary forms. However, this similarity at the beginning of modern literature found it difficult to influence and be affected for several reasons. This study examines the relationship between Turks and Arabs in general, and specifically with Egypt. It investigates the impact of Turkish-Egyptian political relations on literature, as well as their manifestation in academic works and their influence on basic educational curricula. Subsequently, factors that bring Turkish and Egyptian literature closer or drive them apart are discussed, along with the transmission of Turkish literature to Egypt, the presence of Turkish publications in Egypt, and the interaction between these two communities through travel, journeys, and education.

This article examines the enduring influence of Ancient Egyptian civilization in contemporary Arabic poetry, focusing on the ways poets incorporate elements of Egypt's ancient past into their literary works to preserve its memory for future generations. The subject, scope, and importance of this study lie in the exploration of the engagement with Ancient Egypt in various aspects, such as celebrating architectural marvels and acknowledging the wisdom and achievements of the civilization that once thrived along the Nile. The purpose of this research is to underscore the significance of the past in shaping present-day literary and cultural expressions, as well as the role of art in the construction of collective identity. The methodological framework involves a close analysis of selected poetic works, paying particular attention to the interplay between different cultural and historical influences, and demonstrating the vitality and adaptability of the Arab poetic tradition. In addition, this study highlights the implications of Ancient Egyptian civilization in contemporary Arabic poetry beyond the realm of literature, emphasizing the necessity of reevaluating the relationship between past and present and fostering a sense of continuity and connection with a shared history.

Didactic poetry, the first examples of which are encountered in ancient Greek and Indian, finds its correspondence in Arabic Literature as is al-shi‘r el-ta‘limi. The type of rajaz and urjūza seen in the early period is considered as the first manifestation of didactic poetry in Arabic literature. When it comes to didactic poetry, the first thing that comes to mind in Arabic literature is the alfiyya. It can be said that many works have been given in the style of didactic poetry on the science of ʿarūd and rhyme. Born in 1265/1849 in Haifa, in the north of Palestine, Yūsuf al-Nabhānī met many famous thinkers at al-Azhar University in Egypt, where he was for education. Having a close relationship with Sultan Abdul Hamid, al-Nabhānī worked as the editor of al-Jawāʼib newspaper, as well as serving in various judicial organs of the state. The author's work titled Nazmu evzâni'l-buhûr fî medhi’r-Rasūl by the author, who has written many works in various branches of Islamic sciences, is a didactic work that has a very small volume in which he gave praise about the Prophet by using all of the poetic prosodies. In the work, each prosody is mentioned with the example of a two couplet eulogy. The work, which offers those who want to learn ʿarūd prosodies the opportunity to remember easily with the technique of memorization, includes some literary arts along with a plain language.
