The monthly magazine az-Zuhūr ( Arabic الزهور, DMG az-Zuhūr ; German "Die Blumen" ) appeared from 1910 to 1913 in a total of 40 issues in Cairo . Your editor Anṭūn al-Ǧumayyil (1887–1948) was already involved in the publication of the Beirut al-Bašīr (1870–1947) and the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahrām (1875 – today). The main focus was on the subjects of literature and art, whereby the magazine primarily endeavored to support young authors and to strengthen the relationship between Arab writers from different regions. In addition, az-Zuhūr, like other popular magazines later, wanted to keep the balance between European and contemporary Arabic literature. In addition to literary criticism, book reviews and news about literary life in Egypt , the authors campaigned for the establishment and further development of Egyptian theater. It was the first magazine that published a Shakespeare play , Julius Caesar , in a series at the time. Until it was discontinued in 1913, the magazine organized numerous writing competitions, which also helped it to achieve great popularity and reputation. Ultimately, az-Zuhūr made a significant contribution to Egypt's literary life.
