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