Amr Tantawi added that his father, Sheikh Mohamed Sayed Tantawi, the former Sheikh of Al-Azhar, whose 93th birthday is commemorated today, “was a virtuous man who loved his religion and his country, and mastered his work, even working on holidays, and was keen on interpreting the Holy Qur’an visually, audibly and read it.” .
And about his death, the son of the former Sheikh of Al-Azhar said that his father had received an invitation to attend the celebration of the Shariah Assembly to grant the King Faisal International Prize for Service to Islam, an award of high Arab, Islamic and international standing, and the travel period was scheduled to be two days, and despite that, the Grand Imam traveled with a bag office only.
He continued: “After the ceremony was completed and during my father’s return to Cairo, he died at the airport, and was then buried in Al-Baqi’ next to the companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.” And that was achieved by the grace of God.”
Regarding the will of the former Sheikh of Al-Azhar, to donate his organs after death, Counselor Amr Tantawi, son of the late Imam Muhammad Sayed Tantawi, said: “My father was in a meeting with the captain of doctors and a number of those concerned to discuss the draft law on organ transplantation, and during the meeting he recommended the transfer of his organs after his death to encourage people on this matter.”
