english: Tantawi leaves a mixed legacy behind him: overall, the immediate verdict may be that he was too liberal for conservatives, too conservative for liberals, too compliant with the regime for those who want al-Azhar to be independent, and too independent for those in the regime who needed Azharite support to enact policy changes on issues as varied as Palestine, banking and TV game shows.
non_english: Tantawi meninggalkan warisan: secara keseluruhan, kesan pertama yang ditangkap mungkin ia terlalu liberal dimata kaum konservatif, terlalu konservatif dimata kaum liberal, terlalu patuh dengan rezim yang menginginkan al-Azhar yang independen, dan terlalu independen bagi rezim yang membutuhkan dukungan Azharit untuk membuat perubahan kebijakan isu-isu beragam seputar Palestina, perbankan dan program acara permainan TV.
