Dr. Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid<\/a>, a prominent Egyptian scholar once accused of apostasy for his contemporary interpretation of Islam, has died on July 5, 2010. He was 66. Officials at the Cairo hospital where Abu Zeid had been receiving treatment for the past two weeks said he died Monday from a brain infection.<\/p>\n

Calling him her here, Mona ElTahawy<\/em> reposted <\/a>an article she wrote about him and his strife in 1996:<\/p>\n

\n

An Egyptian court on Monday threw its weight behind Islamists by upholding a ruling that a happily married university professor must divorce his wife because he was found to have renounced Islam.<\/p>\n

A human rights group, saying it feared for the life of Arabic professor Nasr Abu Zeid, urged President Hosni Mubarak to overturn the “unjust” decision by Cairo’s Court of Cassation.<\/p>\n

The court rejected Abu Zeid’s appeal against a ruling ordering his separation from fellow academic Ibtihal Younis.<\/p>\n

Abu Zeid and Younis moved to the Netherlands earlier this year to take up teaching posts. The Court of Cassation is the last stop for appeals in Egypt and court sources say if the couple ever return to Cairo they will have to separate.<\/p>\n

Abu Zeid has argued he is still a Moslem and has accused mainstream Islamic clerics of quoting the Koran out of context and of making even simple factual errors. Younis has criticised the fundamentalists for treating her like a child by interfering in her private affairs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I could not phrase my sorrow in better words; Mina Zekri<\/a> said on twitter:
<\/p>\n

\tHe who rejected the notion of the absoluteness of the scripts and the opium of the minds has died! He who gave in to his mind at a time when everyone gave up their minds has died! He who was separated from his wife over his ideas has died! He was was forced into exile has died! Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid has died!<\/p><\/div>\n

When someone passes away and I see his grief-struck family I wonder why they are so sad that he will finally rest in peace; I mourn over those who are born and are destined to face the unknown into a world that is getting worse by the second. Today I felt the true meaning of loss; I have grieved the way i have never grieved before.

\tWhen I read his words, I cannot help but wish that Egyptians had half his brains. He is a man of true genius and creativity. He endured the hardships imposed on him by ignorant delusional creatures who assumed guardianship over the world. I truly wonder who gave them the right to judge literary work when they are far from knowledgeable! In a time when darkness prevailed, they feared his enlightened mind; they accused him of atheism, and separated him from his wife.
<\/p>\n

\tWith their ignorance they killed Farag Fouda, assaulted Naguib Mahfouz, and exiled Dr. Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid – they are all dead now! I wonder why the enlightened leaves are the ones that fall! My beloved country is destined to be the home of ignorant parasites who entertain us with mediocre clownish performances of virtue when we all know that they are the true allies of the devil.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dear Dr. Nasr Abu Zeid! Nothing I write will do you justice and nothing I say will add to your legacy; I am obliged to write about you here to stand in the face of those backward followers of the Sheikhs of darkness and backwardness who pathetically gloated announcing your death. Yes! Your body is gone but your thoughts will live forever through your students and scholars.<\/div>\n

Dr. Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid represents my own personal revolution against our heavy heritage! He made me see my religious book – and all books – in a different light! This man has inspired me with faith and belief; a firm belief that the scripts were made to serve us not the other way round! I used to be a script-worshiper like those who leave me angry comments on my posts today when I tell them to look beyond the words, to try to read into the spirit and the meaning of the script, and to see how to utilize the script in our lives today.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Dr. Nasr Hamed Abu Zeid, a prominent Egyptian scholar once accused of apostasy for his contemporary interpretation of Islam, has died on July 5, 2010. He was 66.
