In 1820, the Egyptian wali Muhammad Ali Pasha conquered the Sudan and incorporated it into his Egyptian domans, seeking to supplant the Ottoman Empire as the premier Muslim power. Unfortunately, his goals were never accomplished until the fall of the Ottomans.
My question, in effect, is how could Egypt become the premier Muslim power and supplant the Ottomans by 1900?
