How we prevent us from building a mosque, how we prevent us from building a condolence house… Almighty Allah knows how we were prevented from working as a mufti, I know the servants also know. Look what I've been through these 7 years; Not new. What if I pray for them, 'May God give reason'. That's all I say, I don't say anything else. May God give them wisdom and mercy on them. Say 'Amen'; they need. Anyone who represents my faith, nobody else can have anything to do with politics. Because I will marrow in front of him and pray. I cannot describe the respect I have for him. I grew up in those stoves. I know respect for an imam and a mufti. I know the street, I know the neighborhood, I know the mosque, I know the Quran course, ”he said.
