Mohamed Zia, at the memorial ceremony of the late Professor Ahmed Omar Hashim, former President of Al-Azhar University, held at the International University of Islamic Denominations, stated: This commemoration is not just a tribute to an academic personality, but rather it honors the place and role of religious scholars in guiding society, shaping public awareness, and consolidating the values of moderation, wisdom, and knowledge in the Islamic world. He added: Dr. Ahmed Omar Hashim, throughout his academic journey, especially during his presidency at Al-Azhar University, was an outstanding example of a scholar who managed to combine the depth of religious knowledge, scientific authenticity, and intellectual openness, becoming a voice for rationality and balance during a time full of intellectual and cultural challenges. The Head of the Egyptian Interests Section in Iran, referring to the historical position of Al-Azhar, emphasized: Al-Azhar, an institution that is both a mosque and a university, is one of the oldest educational centers in the Islamic world and has always played a central role in promoting tolerance, coexistence, dialogue, and combating extremism.
