OPEN// Sisi performs Eid al-Adha prayers at new capital's Misr Mosque
CAIRO, June 6 (MENA) - President Abdel Fattah El Sisi performed Eid al-Adha prayers at Misr Mosque in the New Administrative Capital early on Friday morning. He was accompanied by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed El-Tayeb, Minister of Defense and Military Production General Abdel Meguid Saqr, Awqaf Minister Osama El-Azhari and several other senior state officials. Following the Takbirs and prayers, the mosque's imam delivered a sermon in which he said that the Hajj is among the greatest acts of worship, instilling high moral values and spiritual meaning in the human soul. Quoting the Qur'an, he said: 'That they may witness benefits for themselves'—a verse he described as encapsulating the multifaceted purpose of Hajj, benefiting individuals, society, and nations alike. On a human level, he said, Hajj offers a unique opportunity for self-reflection, a return to spiritual purity, and a shift from worldly distractions to a focus on the hereafter, as pilgrims begin a renewed, spiritually guided chapter in life. He added that Hajj also reinforces values of coexistence and tolerance, as millions of diverse ethnicities, languages, and cultures gather in one place, performing the same rituals in humility and unity. This diversity, he said, teaches acceptance, respect for difference, and patience in dealing with others—strengthening the principle of shared humanity. (MENA) R E E/
