Shaykh áanáÄwÄ JawharÄ was an Egyptian exegete known for having produced a scientific interpretation of the QurÊÄn. A pioneering scholar in terms of familiarising the people of his time with many previously neglected matters regarding Islam and science his publications shocked the Cairo educational system and other Muslim places of learning in the early twentieth century. This book examines the intersection between áanáÄwÄ JawharÄ and Egyptian history and culture and demonstrates that his approach to science in the QurÊÄn was intimately connected to his social concerns. Divided into three parts part one contains three chapters which each introduce different aspects of áanáÄwÄ JawharÄ himself. The second part explores the main aspects of his tafsÄr discussing his approach to science and the QurÊÄn and how he presented Europeans in his tafsÄr and then addressing the impact of his tafsÄr on wider Muslim and non-Muslim society. The third section draws attention to the themes from all 114 sÅras of the QurÊÄn that are discussed within his commentary. It then analyses the current status of his views and the post-Jawharism perspective on science and the QurÊÄn both today and in an imaginary future in 2154. Providing new English translations of áanáÄwÄ JawharÄâs work the book delivers a comprehensive assessment of this unique figure and emphasises the distinctive nature of his reading of the QurÊÄn. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone studying modern Egypt the QurÊÄn Islam and Science and scientific interpretation and inimitability. . Language: English
