Biography

He says about himself: I am a lovable person and I love love. I believe that if Christianity truly relies on the phrase "God is love" it will succeed, also I see that God when addressing His Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), summarized all Islam in two words and said to Him: "وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلاَّ رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ"; And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.

He says: Throughout high school I had an Islamic tendency, which is why I started reading Islam on my own, even the school sermons took on an Islamic form until I entered the Faculty of Medicine and visited Hassan al-Banna, he had a reasonable and very attractive personality.
