Opis

The modern Egyptian exegete Ṭanṭāwī Jawharī is widely regarded as having produced a scientific interpretation of the Qurʾān. This book examines the intersection between Ṭanṭāwī Jawharī and Egyptian history and culture and demonstrates that his approach to science in the Qurʾān was intimately connected to his social concerns.

Recenzje

Daneshgar’s scrupulous study of the life and thought of Ṭanṭāwī Jawharī is a substantial contribution to the field of Quranic studies which also sheds light on one of the significant aspects of the Islamic reform movement, i.e. its stance towards science in the nineteenth century. Mahmoud Pargoo, in the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies
