Encyclopedia of the Four Sultans: Mohamed Metwally Al-Shaarawy, Sultan of the Heart

About this book

Kamel Abdel Qawi El-Nahhas studies how Mohamed Metwally Al-Shaarawy grew from a gifted village student into a religious voice loved by millions. Rather than offer a conventional biography, the book analyzes an 'engineering of acceptance': language, tone, performance, independence, and the ability to make jurisprudence and Qur'anic reflection accessible to ordinary listeners. Moving through Egypt, Mecca, Algeria, and later digital media, it considers the soft power of communication and why Al-Shaarawy's presence continues long after his death.
