Biography edit

Zaki Mubarak was born in the village of Santris, Monufia Governorate in 1892. In 1908 he joined Al-Azhar University and obtained a certificate of eligibility from it in 1916,

a Bachelor of Arts from the Egyptian University in 1921, and a doctorate in literature from the same university in 1924.

He then obtained a postgraduate diploma in literature from National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations, in Paris in 1931 and a doctorate in literature from the Sorbonne University in 1937.[2]

Taha Hussein was the reason for his leaving the university without a job and without a salary on the streets, although he holds a doctorate three times and has authored more than forty books.[3] He was allowed to work at the Egyptian University, and he worked at the American University and was appointed as an inspector for foreign schools in Egypt, but he did not settle for this job and was expelled from it after Mahmoud El Nokrashy came as Minister of Education and Abdel Razzak Al Sanhuri as Undersecretary of the Ministry.

He worked in the press for many years and wrote about a thousand articles for Al-Balagh newspaper and other newspapers on various topics.

In 1937, he was assigned to Iraq to work in the Higher Teachers' House, he was pleased in Iraq to get to know many of his notables and his friendship with them. Despite the honor he received in Iraq, he continued to feel the injustice in Egypt, and he expressed his injustice in the most sincere way by saying, "My salary in the Ministry of Education is not enough, and I complete it with the reward that I receive from Al-Balagh, as a wage for articles like which no writer would write, even if he dipped his hands in black ink... children of Adam are traitors. You compose forty-five books, two of which are in French, and you publish a thousand articles in Al-Balagh, and you become a doctor, yet you remains an inspector at the Ministry of Education."
