Sons of Muhyiddin

Biography and career of a family from Egypt

Author: Mustafa Obaid

English author Thomas Carlyle said, "History is the biographies of great men." This book traces the life and career of one of Egypt's most important families, the Mohieddin family of Kafr Shukr. This family has interacted with major events in modern history, and its influence has extended to all aspects. Over several generations, it has produced exceptional individuals who have played significant roles in building Egypt's major institutions and contributed positively to remarkable transformations. From the founding grandfather, who offered a unique experience in social ascension and political influence, through distinguished politicians and representatives, to the July Revolution generation and its most prominent figures, Zakaria Mohieddin and Khaled Mohieddin, then the veteran politician Fouad Mohieddin, and finally to the international economist Mahmoud Mohieddin, the family's imprint has remained evident on all civil state institutions. This is what this book attempts to interpret in a new narrative that explores the forgotten and marginalized in Egyptian history.
