Sheikh “ Muhammad Mutawali Al Sharawi “ (Egypt 1911– 1998) the extremely popular & prominent Top Egyptian & Arab Islamic scholar when asked

Why do you not belong to or back a religious party? , He replied saying

… Because belonging to a religious party is not one of the pillars of Islam and it does not harm my Islam if I do not belong to this party .

I am a Muslim before I knew you , and I am a Muslim before you become a party, & I will remain muslim after your party fades & perishes & my Islam will not wear off without you because we are all Muslims , &you are not the only ones who are muslims

I refuse to belong to a party begging my passion & support based on my religious motive & not on addressing my mind & brain.

It is a political party not a religion & it only represents the political thoughts of this party and does not represent Islam or muslims

I refuse to beg my religion in a vote ballot , because my religion is only begged from my creator

” I hope that the religion reaches the political people & that the religious figures do NOT reach the politics

If you were people of religion & religious figures , then there is no merit or eligibility to you in politics & if you are people of politics , then it is my right to not chose you & no sin or religious fault in that
