Muḥammad ʿUthmān Jalāl (1829 - 1898) was an Egyptian dramatist, translator[1] and author.
One of the most prolific adapters of French plays and literary texts by La Fontaine, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, Molière, and Racine, Muhammad 'Uthman Jalal (known as Galal), was the son of a minor official of Turkish ancestry who had married an Egyptian woman.
He rendered in Egyptian dialect several plays by Molière, including a version of Tartuffe, Al-Shaykh Matlūf.
