Muhammad ʿAbd al-ʿAtty al- Nūbī, President of the International Al-Azhar and Sufī Youth Union, invited Egyptian youth groups to stand as one against what he describes the spiral of despicable violence that spread through Egypt recently.

Al-Nūbī stressed today, in his declaration, that what happened in the Egyptian streets is an unforgivable sin that Islām forbade, denouncing the neglected blood that flowed over the past days.

The Union pointed in its declaration that carrying any weapon during marches or protests is “haram” adding that, whoever kills a believer intentionally will be damned to Hell (Mahmūd Maqbūl, al-Yawm al-Sābiʿ, Aug. 19). Read original text in Arabic.
