Nadia Emara

Nadia Emara is an Egyptian Islamic preacher, an expert in women's fiqh and a television presenter who studied at the Faculty of Arts, Alexandria University, in the Arabic department's Islamic studies division. ¹ No trusted source publishes a birth date for her, so this record gives none; the Egyptian Arabic (arz) Wikipedia edition's claim of 1 January 2000 is impossible for a woman who graduated in 1998 and is not used. ^{1 2}

She took her bachelor's degree in Arabic with Islamic studies, graduating from Alexandria University in 1998, and went on to a master's and a doctorate specialising in Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir). ²

After graduating she worked at Alexandria University, teaching Arabic to non-native speakers and teaching tafsir and tajwid to non-Arabic speakers. ²

She studied under Muhammad Metwalli al-Sha'rawi — whose weekly Alexandria sessions she attended in her third university year, studying with him briefly before his death — and under Yasin Rushdi at the Al-Muwasat mosque in Alexandria. ^{1 2}

She worked for ART Teenz, presenting Anwar Ramadan (Ramadan Lights), addressed to young people and children, then moved to the Iqraa satellite channel, where she presented Fiqh al-Nisa' (Women's Fiqh), which dealt with the fiqh questions particular to women. ¹

Her fame began with her presentation of Qulub 'Amira (Hearts Full) on the Al-Hayah television network, a religious programme concerned with women in Islam and women's fiqh, later carried by the ON channel. ¹

Her Goodreads author page lists two books under her name: al-Qasas al-Qur'ani fi Tafsir al-Shaykh al-Sha'rawi (The Qur'anic Stories in al-Sha'rawi's Exegesis, 2017) and Tafsir Surat al-Anbiya' (Exegesis of Surat al-Anbiya'). ³

This section reports what the sources attribute to her; the museum adopts no verdict.

The sources describe her specialism as women's fiqh and the treatment of women's questions in Islam in her programmes; this pass found no published contested positions in the sources consulted, and nothing beyond them is claimed. ^{1 2}
