شَهِدَ عَامُ ١٩٤٤م مَوْلِدَ جَرِيدَةِ أَخْبَارِ الْيَوْمِ بِوَاسِطَةِ كُلٍّ مِنْ مُصْطَفَى وَعَلِيٍّ أَمِينٍ،

The year 1944 witnessed the birth of the newspaper Akhbar Al-Youm by both Mustafa and Ali Amin.

وَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْجَرِيدَةُ بِمَثَابَةِ الْحُلْمِ الَّذِي تَحَقَّقَ لَهُمَا،

This newspaper was like the dream that was achieved for them.

وَبَدَأَ التَّفْكِيرُ بِهَا بَعْدَ اسْتِقَالَةِ مُصْطَفَى أَمِينٍ مِنْ مَجَلَّةِ الْأَثْنَيْنِ

Thinking about it began after Mustafa Amin's resignation from Al-Ithnayn magazine.

حَيْثُ أَعْلَنَ عَنْ رَغْبَتِهِ فِي امْتِلَاكِ دَارٍ صُحُفِيَّةٍ تَأْتِي عَلَى غِرَارِ الدُّورِ الصُّحُفِيَّةِ الْأُورُوبِّيَّةِ،

Where he announced his desire to own a journalistic house that comes in the style of European journalistic houses.

وَبِالْفِعْلِ ذَهَبَ مُصْطَفَى أَمِينٍ إِلَى أَحْمَدَ بَاشَا رَئِيسِ الْوُزَرَاءِ وَوَزِيرِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ لِيَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَهُ فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ الْجَدِيدَةِ،

Indeed, Mustafa Amin went to Ahmed Pasha, the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, to talk to him about the new newspaper.

وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ تَرْخِيصًا لِإِصْدَارِ صَحِيفَةٍ سِيَاسِيَّةٍ بِاللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ بِاسْمِ أَخْبَارِ الْيَوْمِ.

And he requested from him a license to issue a political newspaper in the Arabic language under the name Akhbar Al-Youm.

وَبَدَأَ مُصْطَفَى أَمِينٍ فِي اتِّخَاذِ الْإِجْرَاءَاتِ الْقَانُونِيَّةِ لِإِصْدَارِ الصَّحِيفَةِ فِي ٢٢ أُكْتُوبَرَ ١٩٤٤م،

Mustafa Amin began taking legal measures to issue the newspaper on October 22, 1944.

وَجَاءَ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ ١١ نُوفَمْبَرَ لِيَشْهَدَ صُدُورَ أَوَّلِ عَدَدٍ مِنْ أَخْبَارِ الْيَوْمِ،

And Saturday, November 11, came to witness the issuance of the first issue of Akhbar Al-Youm.

وَقَدْ حَقَّقَتِ الصَّحِيفَةُ انْتِشَارًا هَائِلًا، وَتَمَّ تَوْزِيعُ عَشَرَاتِ النُّسَخِ مِنْهَا مَعَ صُدُورِ الْعَدَدِ الْأَوَّلِ،

The newspaper achieved huge spread, and tens of copies were distributed with the issuance of the first issue.

وَقَدْ سَبَقَ صُدُورَهَا حَمْلَةُ دِعَايَةٍ ضَخْمَةٍ تَوَلَّتْهَا الْأَهْرَامُ،

Its issuance was preceded by a huge propaganda campaign undertaken by Al-Ahram.

وَقَدْ قَامَ الْأَخَوَانِ أَمِينٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِشِرَاءِ مَجَلَّةِ آخِرِ سَاعَةٍ عَامَ ١٩٤٦م مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّابِعِيِّ.

The Amin brothers then purchased the magazine Akhir Sa'a in 1946 from Mohamed El-Tabei.

تَزَوَّجَ مُصْطَفَى أَمِينٌ وَأَنْجَبَ ابْنَتَيْنِ هُمَا رُتَيْبَةُ وَالَّتِي أَسَّمَاهَا عَلَى اسْمِ وَالِدَتِهِ، وَصَفِيَّةُ وَاسْمُهَا عَلَى اسْمِ السَّيِّدَةِ صَفِيَّةَ زَغْلُولٍ

Mustafa Amin married and had two daughters, Rutayba, whom he named after his mother, and Safiya, named after Mrs. Safiya Zaghloul.

وَالَّتِي كَانَ يَعْتَبِرُهَا بِمَثَابَةِ الْأُمِّ الثَّانِيَةِ لَهُ حَيْثُ نَشَأَ وَتَرَعْرَعَ هُوَ وَشَقِيقُهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهَا وَفِي ظِلِّ رِعَايَتِهَا لَهُمَا،

Whom he considered as his second mother, as he and his brother grew up in her house and under her care for them.

وَقَدْ عَمِلَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِالصِّحَافَةِ أُسْوَةً بِوَالِدِهَا.

Safiya worked in journalism, following the example of her father.

قَدَّمَ مُصْطَفَى أَمِينٌ خِلَالَ حَيَاتِهِ الْعَدِيدَ مِنَ الْمُؤَلَّفَاتِ الْقَيِّمَةِ نَذْكُرُ مِنْهَا:
