Al-Azhar Al-Sharif is closely monitoring the ongoing developments in Syria and underscores the imperative for the Syrian populace to possess a comprehensive awareness and steadfast commitment to the safeguarding of their nation's unity, integrity, resources, and borders. It further calls on the Syrians to give ultimate priority to the unity of their nation, analogizing this unity to that of an integrated human organism, wherein the suffering of one constituent adversely impacts the entire entity.
Al-Azhar cautions all Syrians against extremely deceptive schemes intended to divide their homeland, undermine their power, and plunge the nation into internal conflicts and civil strife. In addition, it alerts the Syrian people to remain vigilant against malicious powers which seek to undermine the country’s stability and prosperity, reminding them of the historical richness and cultural legacy of Syria and urging them to protect their heritage and take pride in their legacy.
Furthermore, Al-Azhar Al-Sharif denounces the Zionist opportunism and exploitation of Syria’s current situation to seize its land and resources, stressing that this occupying entity has been unlawfully seizing territories across the region and plundering their wealth and resources to serve its own interests. Therefore, Al-Azhar calls on the Arab and Islamic world to undertake urgent and decisive actions and apply pressure on the international community to stop metastasizing of this cancer throughout the Arab World, targeting one country after another.
