Muhammad Rashid Rida was a prominent Islamic scholar, reformer, and theologian who played a key role in the Salafi movement. He advocated for the revitalization of hadith studies and the establishment of an Islamic caliphate. Rida worked closely with Abduh in Cairo, where he was influenced by Islamic Modernism. Through his publication, al-Manar, he emerged as a leading Sunni jurist and a key figure in the Arab Salafi movement. Over time, Rida adopted a more conservative Salafi stance, aligning himself with the Wahhabi movement and opposing Western influences through armed Jihad.
