Abdullah Rifat Khairan FFA (11 December 1875 – 19 December 1954), known popularly as Abdullah Khairan, was a Fahrani philosopher, educator, poet, literary critic, and man of letters notable for his sardonic wit and popular aphorisms, many of which are still cited today. Often considered among the nation's foremost conservative thinkers, alongside Bahjat al-Asiri, Maytham as-Sayari, and Dastgir Shah Haddad, he was deeply influenced by !Hegelian philosophy and the Belisarian Illumination. Khairan was an ardent proponent of the underpinning virtues within the nation-state and of the importance of Azdarin in Gharib moral life, the latter despite his agnostic proclivities. While his impassioned, often feverish, support for the monarchy as an institution set him in stark contrast with the secular intelligentsia, who embraced republicanism and liberalism, Khairan is often referenced as a pioneer of the Safk Movement.
