Juma: Waqf money is managed in accordance with Sharia principles… We have a contract with 23 universities for the training of imams

The world is now more than ever looking for faith, moral and human values

– We have to build ourselves a scientific building that is in accordance with the requirements of the time.

– The waqf is a large field and a wider gate than the gate of good, and its sanctity is like the sanctity of a pair of orphans and more difficult.

Dr confirmed. Muhammad Mukhtar Gomaa, Minister of Awqaf, said that we are a capable nation if we take the reasons for science and understand our religion correctly, adding that the world is now looking for religion, moral and human values ​​more than ever before, and we must build ourselves a scientific building which is in line with the requirements of the time, and asked why are you satisfied that you are behind if you can be ahead? And why not always try to be on top? We need more effort, sweating, straining and giving in various fields.

This came during a lecture by imams and waqf agents in sister country Algeria, at the Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq camp in Alexandria, yesterday evening, Friday, December 16.

The Minister of Awqaf pointed out that we must raise our aspirations in everything at the individual, institutional, social and national level, above our level as a nation capable of true partnership and real contribution to the construction of modern civilization, not only that, but thanks to God and the values ​​of our great religion, we are capable of being a balance of moderation. And moderation in the construction of modern human civilization, and in the light of recent ups and downs between epidemics, wars and setbacks, many have returned to the search for moral and human values, and to analyze what state humanity has reached and ask what is the way out? Emphasizing that infallibility in God is the way out, and that civilizations that are not built on values ​​and morality at the root of their construction and the foundation of their foundation carry the factors of their downfall.

The Minister of Evkaf confirmed that learning the Arabic language is one of the bases for understanding the secrets of the Book and the Sunnah, so that understanding the Book is an obligation and what an obligation cannot be fulfilled without it is an obligation, and our master Omer Ibn Al-Khattab, “May God be pleased with him,” he used to say: No one reads the Qur’an except a scholar of Arabic, and Harun Al-Rashid used to say to the teacher His children: their knowledge of Arabic torments. with their own languages, and with the development of time, the need for imams to learn psychology, sociology and mastering computer skills arose, because the basic principle is that a person speaks the language of the time and learns another language with age. three languages ​​unite three cultures.

He also spoke about the linguistic aspect, talking about the influence of language on understanding the text. Ba’ is in the saying of the Most High: “And wipe your heads.” Scholars have differed as to the amount of head wiping. He saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wiping a part of his head, carrying Ba’a for whitening, and whoever saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wiping a quarter of his head, said. a quarter of the head, but the Malikis say Ba’ to emphasize, and the Shafi’is say Ba’ to whiten, and when there are multiple opinions, or Preferably between evidences, or combine them if possible. If you say that Ba’ is for affirmation, the meaning goes to the whole head, and if you say to take away, the meaning goes to a part of the head, and among the Hanafis they said a quarter of the head. As for the position of Ba’ in the language? They said that baa is there to stick, we say I wiped the table with my right hand, and we say I wiped my right hand with the table, there is a difference between them.

وفي قول الله “تبارك وتعالى”: “وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا”، ويقول سبحانه: “وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا”، ربما يلتبس على بعض الناس بعض الواو في الحالتين إذا He did not understand the meaning, because the understanding of the meaning cannot be misunderstood afterwards. Commentators and people of the world said, and that is the opinion of most commentators. Believers, as for hell, it takes its people suddenly and suddenly.

And he continued: “Some of them said it was a waw of eight, and it was the custom of some Arab tribes to say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight, so it comes with a waw of eight number, and the Holy Qur’an was revealed in seven letters, and some eloquent Arabic dialects were observed, including this dialect that proves waw. نظائر في القرآن الكريم، اقرأوا قول الله تعالى: “سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ”، فجاءت الواو مع العدد الثامن، وفي سورة التوبة يقول سبحانه وتعالى: “التَّائِبُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ الْحَامِدُونَ السَّائِحُونَ الرَّاكِعُونَ السَّاجِدُونَ الْآمِرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّاهُونَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ”، فجاءت الواو مع العدد الثامن، وفي سورة التحريم يقول سبحانه وتعالى: “عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِن طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَن يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِّنكُنَّ مُسْلِمَاتٍ مُّؤْمِنَاتٍ قَانِتَاتٍ تَائِبَاتٍ عَابِدَاتٍ سَائِحَاتٍ ثَيِّبَاتٍ وَأَبْكَارًا “.

Waw came with the number eight, and his statement has another meaning, which is the meaning of diversification, so there is no objection to mentioning letters with more than one meaning. The gates of hell are seven, according to the words of the Most High: “There are seven gates, because each of them is a divided part.” And the Arabs do not come with “Waw” with the number seven. Then he says: I carry. I testify that there is no god but God, the only one, without partners, and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger. Glory be to Him: “Those who do not believe will be driven into Hell in groups until they enter it. , his door will open.”

And he continued: “And when the gates of Paradise were eight, Vav was brought with him, so He, glorified be He, said: “Those who feared their Lord will be driven into Paradise in groups until they come to it, its gate is open.” And the situation is that it is open and there are eight of them together, so what is the indication that God made the gates of Hell with seven gates and the gates of Paradise with eight gates? Some people of knowledge said: This is proof that God’s mercy is greater than His wrath. Despair over God’s mercy. Indeed, God forgives all sins. He is truly forgiving and merciful.” Exactly in the language of the Holy Qur’an.

The Minister of Awqaf confirmed that the money of the waqf is managed in accordance with the Sharia and legal bases, and we work in accordance with what most lawyers have confirmed that the state of the waqf is like street text and there are laws that control it, indicating that the waqf is a large field and a wide door if we invest it well, emphasizing that the sanctity of waqf money is like the sanctity of orphan money and prejudice It is like touching an orphan’s money, and with tangible testimony, no one violates waqf money except that Allah hastens his punishment in this world before the hereafter. : “Those who unjustly spend the money of orphans eat fire in their bellies and will burn in the fire of fire.” We must beware of approaching under any name.

He explained that the waqfs collected their property in a large geographical atlas, which contains the name of the waqf, the number of the waqf, the area of ​​the waqf, the location of the waqf and its boundaries, and whether it is family or charitable. or jointly, on the cadastral maps that we worked on for about three years and they develop every year, because we collected arguments and archived them electronically, and it took almost six months, and then the Egyptian Geodetic Administration came in and aligned the land piece by piece and took for about a year, then what was uploaded was downloaded to Atlas maps and it came out in 92 volumes, and it was the most important documentation for waqfs, and no one can register land without the approval of the waqf, this is in addition to the fact that the Ministry of Endowments realized more than 16,000 housing units.

And he continued: “In Hurghada we founded the largest craft city, and here in Alexandria there are more than 8,000 residential units, we founded more than one commercial shopping center, and we also have a “mihrab” carpet factory. which are furnished in mosques, and we do not buy carpets at all and produce 700 thousand meters per year, as well as Al-Azhar uniforms for imams, and 60,000 uniforms are produced, in addition to the insurance and maintenance company, and we were also able to improve the financial requirements of imams from our own waqf funds, and we have also entered into contracts with 23 universities to qualify imams for masters and doctorates, and now we have more than six thousand masters and doctorates, and we hope, God willing, that the Awqaf Academy will award in the near future master’s degree in Islamic culture.
