Graduation Ceremony for the Third Cohort of Imams with President Sisi.

Major General Mohamed Salah El-Turki, Director of the Egyptian Military Academy, addressed the graduates of the third cohort of imams from the Ministry of Awqaf during their graduation ceremony. He emphasized the significant responsibility they carry in disseminating knowledge and awareness across the nation.

In his speech at the graduation ceremony for what is known as “Batch of Imam Hassan Al-Attar,” he remarked, “You came to the academy as students seeking knowledge, and today you leave equipped with intellectual and humanitarian resources that will aid you in fulfilling your noble mission. You bear a message before you bear a certificate, and you are tasked with spreading awareness in our beloved country. Be advocates of construction, not destruction; hope, not despair; and spread values of mercy, tolerance, diligence, and dedication. Be role models for Egypt’s youth in conduct, knowledge, and belonging.”.

He further noted, “Always remember that a sincere word can correct thoughts, and a good example can build generations. The informed imam represents the first line of defense for the minds of his fellow citizens.”.

The ceremony was attended by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Saturday at the Strategic Command Headquarters in New Administrative Capital.
