Allam, the Mufti of Egypt in his office.
The eminence Mufti of Egypt has delivered for the sons of Kafrelsheikh
University and employees a lecture at the conferences hall at Development
Center entitled “"Confronting Terrorism and Renounce Violence”.
As well, Prof Dr Maged el Kemary welcomes the Mufti of Egypt and praises
the role in Dar al-Ifta during the recent period in responding to mistaken
fatwas, extremist thinking, spreading the teachings of true Islam and
fortifying our youth of destructive ideas and intellectual terrorism,
especially that some youth have become targets for domestic and international
terrorist groups through the means of social communication and this is what
motivates us to strengthen the intellectual security as the intellectual
terrorism is not be faced except by preventive thinking through a combination
of religious, educational, social, sportive, security and media institutions to
fortify our youth from the inner thoughts and lead to the radicalization of
behavior, ideas and ethics.
El Kemary adds that the goals of educational process is no longer
limited to learn knowledge and its applications, but it has another dimension
which is the correction of misconceptions among youth and the absolute
rejection of the sectarian ideology that threatens the entity of our nation.
Otherwise, Prof Dr Shawky Allam stresses that the religion is honesty,
so the man entrusted with fatwa should be eligible and able to say the correct
response to the issues raised upon him, explaining that the Egyptian Dar
al-Ifta enjoys great confidence at home and abroad.
The Mufti announces that law project has been introduced to the House of
Representatives to organize Ifta to eliminate random fatwas issued by
non-specialists, pointing out that the Dar of Ifta issues 2000 fatwas per day
through various means and interacts more than 5 million persons with the page
of Ifta on Facebook and the fatwas are received in 11 languages.
Otherwise, he adds that Dar of Ifta has different means to confront the
extremist ideas and terrorist groups, explaining that the terrorist groups has quoted
the Holy verses that justify their deeds improperly, pointing out that they has
interpreted the word jihad with a narrow perspective and away from its true
meaning. In the end of the seminar, the president has granted the university
shield to the Mufti of Egypt in recognition and honor of this person.
