The spirit of the revolution had risen, and the period of the Khartum uprising had begun. It was during the reign of the Khedive Ismail, after his entry into Egypt, that the religious scholars of the Ansar began to emerge. They were not only pious but also brave, and they would break their fasts and fulfill their vows.

The Khedive was not afraid of them, and he did not hesitate to confront them. He was aware that the Ansar were a formidable force, and he knew that they would not be easily defeated. He also knew that the Ansar were a religious movement, and that they would not be easily swayed by political considerations.

The Khedive was a shrewd politician, and he knew that he had to tread carefully. He did not want to alienate the Ansar, but he also did not want to give them too much power. He decided to try to co-opt them, and he offered them positions of power and influence.

The Ansar were not interested in power or influence. They were interested in religious reform, and they were not willing to compromise their beliefs. They refused the Khedive's offer, and they continued to preach their message of reform.

The Khedive was disappointed, but he was not surprised. He knew that the Ansar were a stubborn people, and that they would not be easily swayed. He decided to try a different approach, and he decided to try to suppress them.

The Khedive sent his troops to arrest the Ansar leaders, but they were not able to find them. The Ansar had gone underground, and they were not willing to be captured. The Khedive was frustrated, but he was not defeated. He decided to try a different approach, and he decided to try to starve them out.

The Khedive ordered his troops to blockade the Ansar strongholds, and he hoped that they would eventually surrender. The Ansar were not willing to surrender, and they continued to fight. The Khedive was defeated, and he was forced to retreat.

The Ansar had won, and they had proven that they were a formidable force. They had also shown that they were willing to fight for their beliefs, and that they would not be easily defeated. The Ansar had become a symbol of resistance, and they had inspired many people to fight for their freedom.
