Abstract
Abstract Al-Azhar, the thousand-year-old preeminent institution of Sunni Muslim learning in Egypt, has long been involved in reform efforts of various types. In post-revolutionary Egypt, these efforts have taken on new meaning and significance under the framework of “renewing religious discourse” (tajdīd al-khiṭāb al-dīnī). This chapter traces the renewing religious discourse movement since 2011 and its various interpretations in conversation with the history of al-Azhar and in particular its history of reform. While al-Azhar serves as the primary site of analysis, renewal at the institution cannot be disentangled from the Egyptian state and the latter’s efforts to at once consolidate religious authority in Egypt in the hands of al-Azhar and control the direction of religious thought and practice emerging from the institution. Particular focus is given to internal negotiations over post-revolutionary visions of renewal through an analysis of three versions of what are known as the Azhar Documents.
