Early life
editel-Manfaluti memorized the Quran before the age of twelve. He studied at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. He translated, and novelized plays from French. Moreover, el-Manfaluti wrote and translated several short stories. He began writing Al-Nazarat in 1907, which is his most famous work, including a collection of his articles under the title: Al-Nazarat (Arabic: النظرات). [2]
One of el-Manfaluti's most notable traits is that he couldn't read or speak French. He asked some of his friends to translate the play or the book to Arabic, then he rewrote them.
