Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq: A British official is citing what he said,...

The pioneers of social networking sites in the Arab world interacted with a tweet by the spokeswoman for the British government in the Middle East and North Africa, Rosie Diaz, in which she quoted the companion, Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq.

Diaz said in her tweet: “Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, says (Do not cut a fruitful tree, do not destroy an old age, do not pest a sheep or a camel except for food, and do not burn palm trees or drown it).”

“Today begins the countdown to the Climate Action Summit, in the UK next year. It is our duty to preserve the globe. Let us tackle together climate change,” she added.

Days earlier, Diaz congratulated Muslims on the occasion of the Prophet’s birthday, saying: “Every year, Muslims in Britain, the region and the world at large do a thousand good on the occasion of the Prophet’s birthday.”

Rosie’s tweet was widely welcomed by the Arab public in general, and the Muslim community in particular, as some considered that Diaz might be “the best British diplomat who came to the Middle East.”

Waheed Al-Yafei said: “The British not only established the principles of the common law that was the cause of the economic renaissance in the world, but also made the world speak their language. With soft power and diplomacy, they spoke Arabic well and spoke well. Rosie Diaz might be the best British diplomat who came to the Middle East …”

On the other hand, the tweeters criticized Arab officials who cite statements by people such as Napoleon and Churchill, while “they are ashamed of mentioning a prophetic hadith or a quote by one of the companions,” as they said.

Salim Farhati said: “The official spokesperson for the British government, Rosie Diaz, is quoting a wonderful quote by Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, and the officials of the Bedouins are boastful and long-tongued by quoting Napoleon, Bernard and Churchill and are ashamed of mentioning a prophetic hadith or a quote by one of the honorable companions, and this is how Islam lives its body and soul there.”

Activists also spoke of “Arabs’ ignorance of their statements.”

Hani Al-Zabali said: “Few knew this saying of the Caliph Al-Siddiq, now that it was mentioned by the Westerners, everyone will memorize it. Rosie Diaz, the spokesperson for the British government in the Middle East, is citing the will of the Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, calling for the preservation of the environment. I have never realized that it was not used in the first place in the homes of Islam, except for those who have had the womb.

The British government had appointed Diaz in January 2020 to succeed Alison King, the former spokesperson, and Diaz is known for her tweeting on her official account in Arabic, and has previously shared congratulations to Muslims on their religious holidays.
