Behind this poignant scene lies the story of an exceptional upbringing, as Imad al-Din Hussein grew up in a house that smelled of incense and repeated verses of the Qur’an, becoming one of the most prominent media and parliamentary figures in Egypt. The piety that the mother planted in her son’s heart was stronger than any academic curriculum, and deeper than any professional experience. The woman who spent more of her life in prayer than people spent in their work, left an indelible imprint on the personality of an influential media figure who was read about daily in one of the most important Egyptian newspapers.
This scene carries an urgent message for everyone who has a mother who is still alive: Time does not wait, and righteousness is not postponed. The wave of condolences that poured in from Imad El-Din Hussein’s colleagues and friends reminds everyone that mothers are treasures whose value is only appreciated when they are lost. Tomorrow, after Friday prayers, the village of Al-Temsahiya, Al-Qusiya Center in Assiut, will witness the funeral of a mother who taught her son piety before writing, and piety before politics. As the date of the funeral in Cairo will be announced later, the good memory of this righteous woman remains a living lesson in ideal motherhood.
