Zaghloul Al Naggar is an Egyptian geologist and Muslim scholar, born in 1933 in a conservative environment. His father was an educationalist, and moved to Cairo in the mid-1940s where the family witnessed the brutality of the British occupation.

Zaghloul participated in the anti-British demonstrations where two of his fellow activists, Shahin and Ahmed Al-Mineisi, were killed.
