Sheikh of Al-Azhar: The Grand Egyptian Museum reflects Egypt’s unique cultural location
His Eminence the Grand Imam, Professor Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Sheikh of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, congratulated President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, President of the Republic, and the great Egyptian people, on the occasion of the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, this cultural edifice that reflects Egypt’s unique position in human civilization throughout the ages, and confirms that it was, is and will remain – God willing – a beacon of heritage, culture, civilization and humanity, appreciating the efforts of the Egyptian state in preserving heritage, enhancing the value of belonging to the homeland, and consolidating Beauty and good taste in the souls of new generations.
The Sheikh of Al-Azhar – in a statement today, Friday – expressed his pride in the treasures of civilization and history that Egypt abounds in and its unique human heritage, stressing the need to draw feelings of pride from this ancient Egyptian man who astonished the world with an exceptional civilization whose secrets in various arts are still difficult to understand and understand, despite the technical and technological progress that today’s people have achieved. Amazing.
On this good occasion, Al-Azhar recalls what was stated in the final statement of its World Conference for Renewal in Islamic Thought, that preserving heritage and antiquities is a religious and humanitarian duty, and that Islam has called for preserving the manifestations of reconstruction on earth, and that antiquities are a cultural heritage that defines the history of nations and civilizations, and that it is not permissible to attack them or commit anything that changes their original nature, but rather they must be protected as a witness to the civilizations and biography of nations. And her career.
