Muhammad 'Ali 'Alluba (Arabic: محمد علي علوبة, November 1875 or 1878 - 25 March 1956) was an Egyptian lawyer, Arab nationalist and diplomat.
History
He was born in Asyut to the owner of a flower mill. He graduated from the Khedivial Law School in 1899 and opened his first office in Asyut. He was on the administrative board of the National Party from 1907 to 1914, elected to the assembly in 1914.[1] He joined the Wafd in 1918, as was a member of the original delegation and the second high command.[2][3] He then left in 1921 to found the Liberal Constitutional Party in 1922.[4][5] He resigned from his post of minister of endowments in 1925 after the expulsion of Ali Abdel Raziq from Al-Azhar.[6] In 1929 he was secretary-general of the party.[7] He was minister of endowments in 1925 and 1946[a], minister of education in 1936, and of parliamentary affairs in 1939.
Alluba was a supporter of Arabism and the Palestinian cause. He testified to the Wailing Wall Commission in 1930.[8] He was a member of the Egyptian delegation to the 1931 Islamic Congress in Jerusalem, alongside Azzam Pasha and Rashid Rida.[9] Alluba served as both vice president and treasurer of the congress and also chaired the committee over the question of holy sites in Jerusalem.[10] He was also the head of the executive committee of the 1938 'World Parliamentary Congress of Arab and Muslim Countries for the Defense of Palestine'.[11] On 28 May 1939, he helped arrange a petition signed by eighty Egyptian legislators supporting the Arab Higher Committee, calling for the end of Jewish immigration to Palestine and an independent Arab state in Palestine.[12]
During the political crisis between Saudi Arabia and Yemen preceding the 1934 Saudi-Yemini war, Alluba was a member of a commission formed by the General Arab Union in Cairo in March 1934 to study and resolve the conflict. He, alongside Muhammad Amin al-Husayni, Shakib Arslan and Hashim al-Atasi, was a member of a team appointed by the executive committee of the General Islamic Conference in Jerusalem that arrived in Mecca on 14 April.[13]
He was also the head of the Egyptian Lawyers' Syndicate in 1937 and was Egypt's first ambassador to Pakistan in 1948. He died in Cairo on 25 March 1956.[1]
Notes
- ^ Goldshmidt's Biographical Dictionary of Modern Egypt claims that he was minister of parliamentary affairs in 1946, yet Younan Labib Rizk's The History of the Egyptian Ministries 1878-1953, which contains the exact details of the cabinets of this time, claims that he was minister of endowments.
