Résumé
One of the main topics throughout Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā’s long career as a religious and social reformer was the issue of educational reform as a necessary precondition for all other kinds of renewal. Apart from general articles on the importance of knowledge and education which he penned for his journal al-Manār, he made two more concrete and specific efforts in this regard: First, Rashīd Riḍā himself founded an institution of higher learning (Dār al-daʿwa wa-l-irshād) which was intended to train graduates according to his vision of a combination of religious and worldly subjects. And secondly, the discussion of the relevance of natural sciences also took place in al-Manār, mainly in contributions by Muḥammad Tawfīq Ṣidqī, a trained physician whose articles illustrate the balancing act religious reformers had to do in order to reconcile their religious convictions with scientific findings.
