“I seek refuge in God from the accursed Satan. In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, and peace, blessings and salutations be upon our Prophet, his family, companions, his brothers and his followers. Surely events preceded the birth of this indigent slave and came after it, but I do come from an illiterate family… my father was illiterate and my mother as well. Illiterate people before and today and at all times are rarely aware of what is happening in the world, even in their vicinity… especially that they were, back then, 82 years ago, living under a tyrannical, oppressive, suffocating rule, that left no opportunity or chance for the people to ponder their state of being nor the state of the world around them.” MORE | VIDEO in Arabic |
