KEPERLUAN DAN PERSEDIAAN DALAM PERJALANAN MENUNTUT ILMU: SEJARAH PEMERGIAN PELAJAR MELAYU KE KAHERAH, 1910-AN SEHINGGA 1950-AN
Abstract: The number of Malay
students who had studied in Egypt shown a sharp increase since 1920’s. Despite
facing many challenges and obstacles, the number of Malay students studied in
Egypt increased since then rapidly. This article discusses the challenges and obstacles
faced by Malay students studied in Egypt, especially at al-Azhar University, Cairo
from 1910’s to 1950’s. Based on the library research, this study examines and analyzes
the primary sources and secondary sources related to the challenges and obstacles
faced by these students to further their studies in Egypt. This study also
found that the departure of Malay students from Malaya to Cairo exposed them to
a variety of challenges, either before embarking for the trip, or upon arriving
in Egypt, particularly the process of obtaining their passport and visa.
Despite of such challenges, the number of Malay students studied in Egypt
continued increasing sharply since 1920’s, which proved that the Malay
students, in spite of the challenges and obstacles faced continued to travel to
Egypt in pursuit of religious knowledge at al-Azhar University, Cairo.
