Shaykh Ṭaná¹ÄwÄ« JawharÄ« was an Egyptian exegete known for having produced a scientific interpretation of the QurʾÄn. 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 Ṭaná¹ÄwÄ« JawharÄ« and Egyptian history and culture, and demonstrates that his approach to science in the QurʾÄn was intimately connected to his social concerns. Divided into three parts, part one contains three chapters which each introduce different aspects of Ṭaná¹ÄwÄ« JawharÄ« himself. The second part explores the main aspects of his tafsÄ«r, discussing his approach to science and the QurʾÄn, and how he presented Europeans in his tafsÄ«r, and then addressing the impact of his tafsÄ«r on wider Muslim and non-Muslim society. The third section draws attention to the themes from all 114 sÅ«ras of the QurʾÄn that are discussed within his commentary. It then analyses the current status of his views and the post-Jawharism perspective on science and the QurʾÄn, both today and in an imaginary future, in 2154.
Providing new English translations of Ṭaná¹ÄwÄ« Jawharī’s work, the book delivers a comprehensive assessment of this unique figure, and emphasises the distinctive nature of his reading of the QurʾÄn. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone studying modern Egypt, the QurʾÄn, Islam and Science, and scientific interpretation and inimitability.
