Muhammad Jamil Bayham (Arabic: محمد جميل بيهم; 1887–1978) was an Arab-Lebanese historian, politician, writer and reformer[1][2] who wrote dozens of books and articles.[3][4][5]

Hailing from an influential Sunni Muslim family in Beirut, Bayham advocated for Arab unity, emphasizing Arab pride, and asserting the preeminent position of Arabs in Islam. He was a staunch opponent of French rule and expressed disagreement with Lebanese people, particularly Christians, who asserted a Phoenician identity.[6]

Bayham worked for the independence of Syria and Lebanon, defended the Arabism of Palestine, and called for the liberation of women.[7] He is considered a pioneer of the political, social and intellectual renaissance in Lebanon and the Arab world.[8][9][2]

Muhammad Jamil bin Muhammad Mustafa bin Hussein Bayhum Al-Itan[10] was born and died in Beirut. He was descended from the Itani family. The Beyham family was active in political, social and economic activities. Ibrahim Beyhem Pasha was an amir (prince), and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent appointed him to command the Ottoman fleet; he became grand vizier in 1522 AD. Najib Beyhem Al-Itani had close ties with Pope Lewn.[clarification needed] Hussein Beyhum was known for his charitable deeds in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon, and the family was associated with Prince Bashir Al-Shihabi. Omar Bey Beyhem was the head of the Shura Council during the era of Egyptian rule from 1831 to 1840.
