While scholars of modern Islamic exegesis in Egypt have mainly been interested in al-Afgh膩n墨 (d. 1897), 士Abduh (d. 1905), and Ri岣嵞� (d. 1935), one of their followers, 峁琣n峁亀墨 Jawhar墨, became the genesis of tafs墨r 士ilm墨. In his commentary on Q 12, Jawhar墨 wrote of his enthusiasm for “nature and the environment”. In analyzing Jawhar墨’s early “green” and philosophical reinterpretation of the Qur’an, SP3 will establish a new theoretical perspective on the efforts of Jawhar墨 and Islamic scientific exegesis in general, as well as on the impending need to translate the Qur’an into the modern naturalistic frame of early 20^th century Egypt.

SP3 is managed by PI Johanne Louise Christiansen.
