Jamaluddin Afghani was a thinker, a political activist and an ideologist during the late 19th century. Highly influential in the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, South Asia and Europe, he was an advocate of Pan-Islamic unity and Islamic modernism, and his message swept across a multitude of countries like a hurricane. The people flocked to him wherever he went, and his powerful influence, brilliant intellect, and anti-imperialist views led him to be exiled from various countries time and again. His towering personality, sparkling ideology and winning eloquence made him a force to be reckoned with, and his spirit still lives today in the hearts of all those who believe in his message.
