His wildly popular TV program aired every Friday for years until his death in 1998. At the height of his career, it was estimated that up to 30 million people tuned in to his show each week. Yet despite his pervasive and continued influence in Egypt and the wider Muslim world, Sha'rawi was for a long time neglected by academics. While much of the academic literature that focuses on Islam in modern Egypt repeats the claim that traditionally trained Muslim scholars suffered the loss of religious authority, Sha'rawi is instead an example of a well-trained Sunni scholar who became a national media sensation. As an advisor to the rulers of Egypt as well as the first Arab television preacher, he was one of the most important and controversial religious figures in late-twentieth-century Egypt. Thanks to the repurposing of his videos on television and on the Internet, Sha'rawi's performances are still regularly viewed. Jacquelene Brinton uses Sha'rawi and his work as a lens to explore how traditional Muslim authorities have used various media to put forth a unique vision of how Islam can be renewed and revived in the contemporary world. Through his weekly television appearances he popularized long held theological and ethical beliefs and became a scholar-celebrity who impacted social and political life in Egypt. 606 $aIslamic preaching$zEgypt 606 $aTelevision in religion$zEgypt 610 $a20th century islamic preachers. 610 $a20th century religious figures. 610 $aarab television preachers. 610 $acontroversial religious figures. 610 $aegyptian muslims. 610 $aislam. 610 $aislamic preachers. 610 $aislamic renewal. 610 $aislamic tradition. 610 $amodern egypt. 610 $amuhammad mitwalli sharawi. 610 $amuslim media for islamic renewal. 610 $amuslim media. 610 $amuslim preachers on tv. 610 $amuslim religious authority. 610 $amuslim traditions. 610 $asunni media sensation. 610 $asunni muslim. 610 $asunni preacher. 610 $asunni scholar. 610 $atv preachers islam. 615 0$aIslamic preaching 615 0$aTelevision in religion 676 $a297.3/70962 700 $aBrinton$b Jacquelene Gottlieb$f1965-$01543399 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797785303321 996 $aPreaching Islamic renewal$93796840 997 $aUNINA
