'Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi (Arabic: ??? ?????? ??????????, 1854 or 1855–1902) was a Syrian author and Pan-Arab solidarity supporter.
He was one of the most prominent intellectuals of his time; however, his thoughts and writings continue to be relevant to the issues of Islamic identity and Pan-Arabism.
His criticisms of the Ottoman Empire eventually led to Arabs calling for the sovereignty of the Arab Nations, setting the basis for Pan-Arab nationalism.
Al-Kawakibi articulated his ideas in two influential books, Tabai al-Istibdad wa-Masari al-Isti’bad (The Nature of Despotism) and Umm Al-Qura (Mother of All Villages).
He died in 1902 of “mysterious” causes.
His family alleged that he was poisoned by Turkish agents.
