'''M
uohammaed Naguib''' ({{lang-ar|محمد نجيب}}, {{IPA-arz|mæˈħæmmæd næˈɡiːb}}; 19 February 1901 &ndash; 28 August 1984) was the first [[President of Egypt]], serving from the declaration of the [[Republic of Egypt|Republic]] on 18 June 1953 to 14 November 1954. Along with [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]], he was the primary leader of the [[Egyptian Revolution of 1952]], which ended the rule of the [[Muhammad Ali Dynasty]] in [[Egypt]] and [[Sudan]].

==Early years==
Naguib's full name was Muohammaed Naguib Yousef Qotp Elkashlan; he was born on 19 February 1901 in [[Khartoum]], [[Sudan]],<ref name=eb>{{cite web|title=Muḥammad Naguib|url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/401705/Muhammad-Naguib|publisher=Encyclopedia Britannica|accessdate=22 December 2012}}</ref> which was united with Egypt at the time. He was the eldest of nine children of an [[Egyptians|Egyptian]], Youssef Naguib, and a Sudanese woman [[Zohra Ahmed Othman]]. His family name, "Elkashlan," was popular in Eg(contracted; show full)n into turmoil following the 26 January [[Cairo Fire]]s. Meanwhile, the noose was beginning to tighten around the Free Officers, and investigations being carried out to uncover dissidents in the army. The executive committee of the Officers' Club was dissolved and the Free Officers brought their plans for a revolution three years forward, taking power in July 1952.

==Revolution of 1952==

On 23 July 1952, the Free Officers commenced the [[Egyptian Revolution of 1952]] with a ''[[coup d'état]]'' to depose King Farouk. Naguib was appointed, first as [[Commander-in-Chief]] of Army, in order to keep the armed forces firmly behind the junior officers' coup. In September, Naguib was appointed [[Prime Minister of Egypt]] and a member of the Royal Regent Co(contracted; show full)

In late 1953, however, Nasser accused Naguib of supporting the recently outlawed [[Muslim Brotherhood]] and of harbouring dictatorial ambitions.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} A brief power struggle broke out between Naguib and Nasser for control of the military and of Egypt. Nasser ultimately won the struggle and managed to force Naguib to resign from the presidency of Egypt in November 1954.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}

On 25 February 1954, the RCC announced Naguib's resignation as president, saying that Naguib was "demanding absolute authority, which is not acceptable."{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Street protesters brought Naguib back to power the next day, but despite mass support and his reappointment, Naguib's days in power were numbered.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Though reinstated as president on 26 February, [[Gamal Abdel Nasser|Nasser]] now became prime minister and RCC chairman, Naguib's office therefore becoming largely ceremonial.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}

==After the Presidency==

Following his resignation, Naguib was then isolated by President [[Gamal Abdel Nasser|Nasser]] in a suburban Cairo villa owned by Zienab Al-Wakil, wife of [[Mustafa an-Nahhas Pasha]], ex-Prime Minister of Egypt.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} Naguib was released from his isolation in 1972 by President Anwar Sadat. He died on 28 August 1984 at the age of 83 and he had a military funeral that was attended by President [[Mubarak]]. In the same year, his memoirs were published under the name ''I was a President of Egypt''. The book was reprinted several times and was also translated into English under the title ''The Fate of Egypt''. A station of the [[Cairo Metro]] is named in his honour. A major road in Al Amarat District of [[Khartoum]] is also named after him.

In December 2013, interim Egyptian president [[Adly Mansour]] awarded the [[Order of the Nile]], the highest state honour; to the name of the late President Muohammaed Naguib. The award was received by Muohammaed Yusuf Muohammaed Naguib.
