According to Ahlul Bait News Agency- ABNA – Grand Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani, in a meeting with Sheikh Emad Kandil, one of the leaders of shias in Egypt, stressed on the unity of Shias and like-minded in Egypt and said the conditions in Egypt are presently very complicated and dark.
He said: Egypt’s revolution is in danger of disaster and the reason behind this is the enlightenment of the people who stand against the tyranny following the US, Zionism, Saudi Arabia,Wahabism and Takfirism. Egyptians have sacrificed many lives for this revolution.
He, recalling the early days of Islamic Revolution, mentioned that: I had been to Egypt many times as the delegation of Imam Khomeini then and saw people showing love towards Ahlul Bait (AS) attending the ceremonies freely. After the victory of Islamic Revolution in Iran people of Egypt who were fed up with the tyranny rose against it.
He then said: after Hosni Mubarak, people voted for Islam and elected Mohammad Morsi but he too could not meet the demands of people for apparently he was Salafi and Takfiri as well. After him Abdel Fattah el-Sisi took the office who is merely a copy of Mubarak. People do not accept him either.
Warning against the interference of West and Europe, he stressed that: The US, Europe and Zionists are worried that another revolution like Islamic Revolution may happen in other countries. The enemies of Islam have united in this case despite many disagreements. The conditions in Egypt are so horrible that some of the pilgrims of Imam Hussain for Arba’een were arrested upon returning to Cairo.
He, lamenting the chaotic conditions in Egypt, stressed on unity among Muslims saying: By encouraging unity among Shias and like-minded, you must collect a strong population of supporters because the enemies of Islam have united to stop Islam and ideology of Ahlul Bait (AS) from spreading. By creating Boko Haram, ISIS and Takfiri movements in Islamic countries, they try to sow the seed of division and by killing innocent people in West and Europe they create Islamophobia.
He advised that: Egypt must try to become like Yemen and Syria in strengthening and improving resistance. There must be someone like Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah or Abdul-Malik al-Houthi in Egypt who is brave and wise and becomes the axis of unity for others to unite. This will lead shias to victory in Egypt.
He finished his statements by saying: Shias and supporters of Ahlul Bait (AS) will get stronger day by day and this will never stop. To get to this victory takes time and God willing the oppressed will topple down the oppressor. You must never lose hope for victory is Islam’s and downfall for the enemies of Islam.
