Naguib Sorour's son: I burned my brother's body, but I did not wear it... and I will bury my "Russian" mother in Egypt

Farid Sorour, son of the late great Egyptian poet, Naguib Sorour, confirmed that his Russian mother, Alexandra Korsakova, who died last Saturday, converted to Islam in 1979.

And on his account on “Facebook”, Farid Najib Sorour published a picture of a certificate from the Al-Azhar Foundation, about his mother’s conversion to the Islamic religion, and commented on it, saying: “I do not have time for sorrows and I have to take responsibility for everything that must be done in order to bury my beloved mother in the cemetery of Abuya in The beautiful village of Khattab, Dakahlia Governorate, was buried in a dignified way.

He added: "I discovered that I had no experience in burying relatives in Egypt, and the only experience I have in burial is that I buried my beloved grandmother in Russia 25 years ago, and my dear mother-in-law also in Russia 40 days ago, and 3 years ago I cremated the body of my Shahdi brother in India. In implementation of his will for me, and at that time, my brother and I were disbelieved and accused us of having apostatized from our religion, and it is painful that these accusations were mostly from relatives from my father’s family and from other people I do not know from our village. I have my reasons and my right to do so, but I like to think of everyone who reads these lines that my father has raised me and has the sanctity of carrying out the will, and the reason is that my brother was arrested and sentenced to prison, so he lived in exile for 20 years before he died in exile as well.. he carried out his father’s will. And he published on the Internet one of the greatest poems that was, is and will be banned, and therefore it will also be an immortal poem in the history of Egypt.”

And he added: "Yesterday, when I came home and announced the news to the world (the news of his mother's death), I thought and expected that I would receive messages of condolences from the people of the beautiful village of Abuya Khattab, and they would offer me help in everything related to my mother's burial there, but the reality is that I only received some Messages of condolences from the people of the village and the complete silence at first over the burial of my mother in the cemetery where her husband was buried 44 years ago.

He continued: "Seriously, I have not yet received a single letter from anyone in my father's village asking if I need any help in burying the late, but this is not the reason why I wrote to you all this story, but the reason is the messages that followed the silence from some of the villagers who I don’t know them, and they ask, “Is it permissible according to Islamic law to bury a person other than Islam in Muslim cemeteries? At first I thought I would ignore these brains as I did before after carrying out the will of my martyr, but repeating it, and because the most important for me at all is the implementation of the will, this time prompted me to write the story.” They are all here for everyone without any supervision and response to your inquiries, perhaps you will find what interests you..I frankly about myself do not know whether it is permissible by Sharia for a married couple to be buried in one cemetery, and one of the two parties is not on the religion of Islam or is it not permissible? I want to know for two reasons.The first of them is that I do not encourage any racial or sexual discrimination, and I think that the worst of it is the religious discrimination between living or dead people, and the second reason (surprise to whom it may concern) that my mother is Russian, of Muslim religion, praise be to God..and for those who think and say, How is Russian, and her name is Alexandra And Muslim, and where did you convert to Islam? I am sorry, father, that I will now tell the story of my mother’s conversion to Islam, and this story begins, when one day, and approximately two months after my father’s departure, my uncle came to our house in the pyramid, and he was not satisfied with that, he threatened her that if she did not hear his words, he would take his nephews from her, because we palace, and that this is his right, because my mother is a foreigner who is not on the religion of his brother.”And for those who think and say, How is a Russian woman, her name is Alexandra, and a Muslim, and when and where did she become Muslim? I am sorry, father, that I will now tell the story of my mother’s conversion to Islam, and this story begins, when one day, and approximately two months after my father’s departure, my uncle came to our house in the pyramid, and he was not satisfied with that, he threatened her that if she did not hear his words, he would take his nephews from her, because we palace, and that this is his right, because my mother is a foreigner who is not on the religion of his brother.”And for those who think and say, How is a Russian woman, her name is Alexandra, and a Muslim, and when and where did she become Muslim?

And he continued: "After my father's departure, a problem occurred between my mother and my uncle, who wanted me to impress him, but dear Laila Mandour, when I heard the simplest way to solve the problem of this despicable place, that tomorrow she would go with my mother to Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, and there my mother would deliver the testimony, and receive a sealed certificate. She is a Muslim, and thus my uncle will not have any way of guardianship over Najib Sorour’s children, and he was, and in fact the next day, we went to Al-Azhar, and my mother entered the religion of Islam on January 20, 1979.”

He concluded his post by saying: “To my family and my people in the beautiful village of Khattab, where my great father was born and buried, I say that tomorrow, Monday, January 17, 2022, I will arrive at the cemeteries, I will carry the body of my great mother in front of me, and I will carry out the will, and I am absolutely certain, that everyone I love will be next to me.” My father and his family are respectable people of the village."
