He deserves this, as a Muslim, he is of great value to millions around the world, his influence also extends to non-Muslims, in Islamic countries he always finds a very interesting and great reception" .
He added, "Salah meets all this hospitality with his timid smile, but I can feel his happiness and his feeling of pride. He deserves all of this. He is a humble man who came from Egypt and worked hard until he reached the summit."
