Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN)– The Emirati academic, Abdul Khaliq Abdullah, described Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi as “the spiritual father of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was famous for his fatwas that incite violence and blasphemy.”
Abdullah said, via his Twitter account, on Monday: “The death of the 96-year-old cleric Youssef Al-Qaradawi, the spiritual father of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was famous for his fatwas that incite violence and blasphemy.”
He added that Yusuf al-Qaradawi “led during the Arab Spring a campaign of abuse, hatred and mobilization against the stability of the Emirates, although the Emirates honored him and welcomed him well.”
It is noteworthy that the International Union of Muslim Scholars announced, earlier on Monday, the death of Al-Qaradawi, who served as the former president of the Union.
This came in a statement by the union, which it posted on its Twitter account, in which he said: “Go to the mercy of God, His Eminence, Imam Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the founding president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, who gave his life explaining the provisions of Islam.”
He added: “The Islamic nation has lost a realizing scholar from among its loyal and virtuous scholars. We ask God Almighty to forgive him and have mercy on him, pardon him, reward him with the best reward, honor his abode, enter him into the Paradise of Paradise, and resurrect him with the prophets and the truthful ones, and the good of those are companions, and to inspire his family, relatives and lovers And his colleagues patience and solace, he is the best of the Lord and the best responder.. God Amen.
And Abdul Rahman, the son of Youssef Al-Qaradawi, contented himself with the phrase “the knight got off”, with his first tweet after the announcement of his father’s death.
