Hekmat

''Hekmat'' ( –"Wisdom") was the first Persian-language newspaper published in Egypt, and the first Persian journal published in an Arab country. Founded and managed by the Iranian expatriate Mohammad-Mahdi Tabrizi (died 1914), a physician by profession, it was published from 20 September 1892 until 30 May 1911.}} ''Hekmat'' carried primarily news, but also featured a variety of articles on political and social issues. Despite being published in an Arab country, it avoided using Arabic terms and Arabic forms of non-Arab words in its content.

With prose described as being "among the best of its time", ''Hekmat'' was known to be supportive of introducing modern science into Iran, and was a defender of Shia Islam in the country. It was, however, critical of Christian missionary activity as well as of Russian, British and Ottoman interference in Iranian politics, ''Hekmat'' helped pave the way for the Iranian Constitutional Revolution (1905-1911) and, during the Constitutional era, unconditionally supported the Constitutionalists and staunchly defended the press in Iran. Hekmat does not mean "Wisdom" in Persian. It means "Judgment". حکمت الهی "قضاوت پروردگار" حاکم "قاضی". Provided by Wikipedia
