THE MAN, MORSI: THE UNTOLD STORY! .................................. (First ever elected Egypt President, ousted in a coup led by Abdel-Fatah El-sisi exactly a year ago, July 3, 2013). .................................. I’m not affiliated to any religious movement, nor political party. I am an ordinary Muslim, who writes about Islam, Muslim’s social issues, and other issues, which I perceive worth writing about. This article features Dr. Mohamed Mohamed Morsi Issa Ayyat, who made headlines across the world, aggressively, in the last one and a half years. It therefore has nothing to do with the party, to which he may or may not belong. Mohamed Morsi is a contemporary Muslim personality and phenomenon, which I believe Muslims need to know, the untold story about the man. The first thing that caught my attention about Mohamed Morsi, is that he popped up, out from “nowhere” into the Egyptian political arena, which subsequently made him an iconic figure and the 3rd runner-up for Time’s person of the year, for 2012. We have many Muslim leaders, from the past and contemporary, but Mohamed Morsi is an exemplary Muslim president, who I believe every Muslim should look up at, with respect. Mohamed Morsi is not only the first democratically elected Arab Muslim leader, he’s also the first Arab Muslim leader, who has memorized the whole Qur’an, by heart. Egyptians know that, one of Mohamed Morsi’s sons is working in one of the Gulf States, to make a living, and another son of his, is currently unemployed and is searching for job. They also know, that Mohamed Morsi’s sister passed away, last year, in the Zagazig University Hospital. He had refused to use public (tax payers’) money to send her abroad for treatment. In other words, he couldn’t afford financially, to send his sister, who battled cancer for ten years, abroad for treatment. Only a few people know that Mohamed Morsi disallowed his family members to go on holidays at the expense of the state. Instead, they have to take commercial flights, in economy class. Back in history, it’s said, that Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz used to light the state-funded lantern when he looked into state-related issues. But whenever he wanted to do his personal things, he would blow out the state-funded lantern, and light his own. Does it sound familiar? Did you know, that Mohamed Morsi offered his Friday prayers constantly? Maybe, I have to indicate here, that Friday prayers must be done in congregation, not in one’s office, unless one’s office is where the congregation takes place, for the public. In addition to that, Mohamed Morsi is very consistent in his Fajr prayers. Barack Obama promised to bring hope to America and Americans. He was eventually accused of failing to deliver, after four years (not one year) of full term. Yet, he is re-elected to serve a second term. Mohamed Morsi was ousted, after one year, for failing to fulfill his promises, as the President, of a country that was militarily ruled throughout its contemporary history. I just wonder, where in history did any ruler manage to make miracles, and turned a “seventh class” country into a “first class” country within a year? More so, I personally find the narrations, that assume that Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz had made wonders in two years, to be questionable. We were told, that Mohamed Morsi approved the “ultimate power” for himself and had therefore set himself as an elected dictator, so to impose the Islamic Shari’ah law on “secular” Egypt. That was the story of his opponents. But the story on the side of the coin says, that Mohamed Morsi did what he did, so he could lead the country, effectively. Although Mohamed Morsi had that “ultimate power” as the president, he still got ousted within a year. I wonder how long he would have stayed, if he didn’t have that “ultimate power.” Yes, Mohamed Morsi legislated that “ultimate power”, but for the President, not for Mohamed Morsi (himself). He knew very well, more than anyone else, that he had four years (to eight years, maximum) to rule his country
