                                        Former Emir of Kuwait, says,
                                
                            
                                “The Grand Imam’s stances contribute to accentuating the role of Al-Azhar in this critical period in the Arab and Muslim world. His Eminence has endured the consequences of such responsibility in this critical period in which Al-Azhar stands in the face of the extremist excommunication (Takfiri) currents that are trying to distort the image of Islam”.
