خواطر الإمام الشعراوي حول تقوى الله المتعالي: دراسة توصيفية

2025-02-14T04:50:56+00:00

Sheikh Muhammad Metwally Al-Shaarawy (1911-1998) was a distinguished Islamic scholar and preacher, renowned for his pioneering oral interpretation of the Holy Quran. Born in Dakadous, Egypt, he obtained his academic degree from the Faculty of Arabic Language in Cairo in 1941. His scholarly contributions, particularly in Quranic exegesis, remain a cornerstone of contemporary Islamic thought.

A central theme in Al-Shaarawy’s interpretations is the concept of Taqwa (God-consciousness), which he defined as the fundamental prerequisite for divine guidance. Through a nuanced examination of Quranic verses, he distinguished between two forms of guidance: Huda al-Dilalah (guidance of direction) and Huda al-Ma’unah (guidance of assistance). He argued that while divine direction is universally accessible, divine assistance is granted only to those who embrace and act upon the initial guidance.

Furthermore, Al-Shaarawy’s reflections on Taqwa emphasized its role in shielding believers from divine wrath and guiding them towards righteousness. He interpreted Quranic injunctions on Taqwa as a call for steadfast faith, moral vigilance, and adherence to divine commandments. His elucidations on fasting further reinforce this perspective, illustrating how self-restraint fosters spiritual elevation and piety.This article explores Sheikh Al-Shaarawy’s interpretations of taqwa, analyzing their theological significance and contemporary relevance. His legacy continues to inspire scholars and believers, offering profound insights into the relationship between divine guidance and human responsibility.
