With the entry of Arabs to Egypt as conquerors but after the expulsion of the Romans, we find that the people of Egypt welcomed the Muslim Arabs in Egypt and the spread of Islam in Egypt calls for teaching Arabic to the people of Egypt who wants to enter Islam, and what is striking is that the great people with an ancient civilization dropping the language of national and replaced the Arabic language expatriate is a unique event did not happen with the people of Egypt with any foreigners, whether from the Persians or the Greeks or the Romans, and this helped the spread of Islam in Egypt, where he found the people of Egypt, the religion of tolerance was not long before Arabic became the national language of the people Egypt's Muslims and Christians

The mosques have played a major role in the scientific movement in Egypt during the Islamic period, besides the role of religious there was a scientific role, becoming mosques schools to teach Arabic language and the teaching of religious sciences of jurisprudence and interpretation of the Koran, etc.
