Al-Urwah al-Wuthqa (Arabic: العروة الوثقى, romanized: al-ʿurwa al-wuthqā, lit. 'The Firmest Bond') was an Islamic revolutionary journal founded by Muhammad Abduh and Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī.[1][2] Despite only running from 13 March 1884 to October 1884, it was one of the first and most important publications of the Nahda. The journal targeted people across the Islamic ummah, calling upon them to unite.[3] Its firm stance against European colonialism caused British authorities to ban it in Egypt and India.[4] Al-Urwah al-Wuthqa is an Arabic term with religious significance, appearing twice in the Quran.
