In this research, I have written about one of the the greatest leaders who did remarkable achievements for the people, his country, and the Arab World whose name is Jamal Abdel Nasser. The topic talks about his promotion to Pan-Arabism with the difficulties he faced through it and the circumstances that led him to think about Pan-Arabism with regards to existing Political Situation, Arab Unity, and the concept of Nationalism. The purpose of choosing Jamal Abdel Nasser for my project is to brush up the mark that he left in the Arab History as many young people have no idea about Historical people who were once represented as heroes to our ancestors, leaving no stone unturned back then such as our late Shaikh Zayed (in God's mercy) who devoted all his life serving the people of his nation and his constant optimum contributions being stretched out to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is important to keep the history of these great leaders alive because of their true patriotism and now we should carry on their legacy with pride.

The process that I went through to finding the information I'm looking for was basically using key words on the search engine like "Gamal Abdel Nasser and Pan-Arabism" then I searched them separately "Gamal Abdel Nasser", "Pan Arabism" to find specific information about the topic and obtain more thoughts and ideas from different articles. Accordingly, I ended up finding the appropriate sources to use which were two websites, one called "Wikipedia" to have a general idea and the other one was a Thesis called "Nasser and Pan-Arabism: Explaining Egypt's Rise in Power " by Robert Eugene Danielson for specific information. Then I looked up for some books about the leader from the library search and got 2 actual books; one named "Gamal Abdel Nasser" by Sam Witte and the other book named "Profiles in Power - Nasser" by Peter Woodward.

Jamal Abdel Nasser was the second President in Egypt who took power in 1954 after President Mohamed Naguib until his death in 1970. He was one of the revolutionary leaders since 1952 when he became interested in Arab Nationalism, which included a short period of unity between Egypt and Syria between the years 1958 and 1961, known as the United Arab Republic. The report examines the importance of Pan-Arabism in the Middle East and considers its emergence in Egypt by the influence of Jamal Abdel Nasser in the Arab world who integrated all aspects of pan-Arabism socially, politically, and economically during 1950s to 1960s.

Among the prominent Egyptian scholars who were in search for a national identity that could define Egypt's position in the Middle East in which it connects with the rest of the Arab countries; they've seen from their perspective that as long as the people in the Arab world speak the same language as they do and share a similar culture as well, were considered to as one.

The scholars then spread this idea to the people of Egypt and made sense to them that they need Arab unity under the leadership of Egypt. Even among the Egyptian politicians agreed to the fact that Egypt was looked upon as a leader due to its struggle against Western power. Another party of Egyptian Communists felt the same way as others who are aware of Egypt's defense against Imperialism on behalf of all Arab people in the Middle East.

When later the leader Jamal Abdel Nasser continued to spread the ideology of Arab Nationalism and influence the Arab world. (Danielson, 2007)

Looking back in time when Jamal Abdel Nasser supported the Palestinian issue and personally contributed to the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. He went frustrated at his failure with the Arab Armies in war due to foreign control and disunity of Arab countries, when later he became encouraged to free Egypt from the British rule by successfully leading the Egyptian revolution along with the first president Muhammad Naguib in 1952 (Mousa, 2012). When he took over the presidency in 1954, he considered the Palestinian issue as one of his priorities for many reasons, including the initial and strategic ones pertaining to the fact that a hostile state on the borders of Egypt would cause a breach of the Egyptian national security. The location of establishing the state of Israel in Palestine was causing to cut the lines of both commercial and mass communications with the Arabian Sea, especially the two influential blocs: Levant and Iraq thus, president Jamal caught sight of establishing unity with either Iraq or Syria or with both.

When Nasser became president of Egypt in 1952, he took the Arab unity idea into consideration by implementing social and economic policies in order to strengthen Egypt domestically and get ready to move its potential power.

One of his social policies that he introduced was the banning of political parties that share different views from his own because he wanted to centralize power within his presidency.

In 1962, he successfully united domestic society by abolishing most political and social opposition with an established mass political party called ASU (Arab Socialist Union) then later ascended to NDP (National Democratic Party).

However, there was one group called "Muslim Brotherhood" that caused a threat to Nasser's vision of a united Egyptian Society as the group was not in favor of Nasser, they actually wanted Egypt to become an Islamic State. This has led into an end of their cooperation with the government in 1954 which made one member in the group attempt to kill President Nasser. Thus Nasser reacted immediately upon this criminal act by imprisoning the group leader and the members.

After the accomplishment of Nasser's social contract, he started to provide social services to his people in return for their political support with health care services, food and clothing subsides, education, rent control, and low cost housing. And as the population grows and the demand of services increases; the social contract was falling behind from a heavy financial burden on the economy. However, Nasser had implemented domestic economic reforms to enable to pay back the debt and increase the country's revenue by focusing more on internal economic sectors rather than just on external financial assistance.

His second focus was to implement Agrarian Reform Law as an economic reform for agriculture and industry in 1952. The law states that whoever has a piece of land that extends over 200 acres, the excess land must be sold to the state at a certain tax valuation and then the state would sell it to individuals who don't own a land at a low price. By 1961, the Agrarian Reform Law as changed in its acres number from 200 to 100 to make more lands available among the people; allowing them make a living out of these lands and at the same time participating more in the economy. Accordingly, Nasser built a higfah Dam called "Aswan Dam" and nationalized the Suez Canal for irrigation purpose for the farmers to grow and harvest more crops.

Sheikh Zayed's achievements was listed alongside Jamal Abdul Nasser as being the most popular influential leaders of the world who have managed to transform their countries in bringing socioeconomic equality during their time and leaving a lasting impression on this world. (Seaman, 2009)

Sheikh Zayed and Gamal Abdel Nasser however, have had different purposes in a quest for Arab solidity which was unifying the principle of Islam in Sheikh Zayed's advocacy; while the advocacy of Jamal Abdel Nasser was unifying the ideology of Arab Nationalism among the Arab nations. (ALHOSANI, 2012)
