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