Academic career
El-Awa has published work on Relevance theory and Qur'anic text, Al-Jama'a Al-Islamiyya and counter-terrorism policing in the UK and Egypt. She aims in her work to discuss the problem of textual relations in the Quran from a linguistic point of view and the way in which the verses of one chapter relate to each other and to the wider context of the total message of the Quran. El-Awa provides a detailed analysis in terms of coherence theory on chapters 33 and 75 and shows that these two chapters cohere and have a main contextual relationship.[1]
