First, There were several previous constitutions of Egypt in History. A constitutional committee approved The latest and actual one in December 2013. Moreover, a public referendum approved The Actual Constitution of the Republic of Egypt. It was held on 14-15 January 2014. Following, the interim president ratified it on 19 January 2014.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. It is Our Constitution. Egypt is the gift of the Nile to Egyptians and the gift of Egyptians to humanity. With its unique location and history, Egypt is the Arab heart of the world. Besides, it is the meeting point of world civilizations and cultures and the crossroads of maritime transportation and communications. It is the head of Africa on the Mediterranean and the estuary of its greatest river: the Nile.
Egypt is an immortal homeland for its people and a message of peace and love to all peoples. At the outset of history, the dawn of human conscience arose and shone forth in the hearts of our great ancestors. Moreover, the Goodwill banded together to found the first central State.
Equally important, It regulated and organized life on the banks of the Nile. In addition, It is where they created amazing wonders of civilization. Moreover, it is where their hearts looked up to the heavens before the earth knew the three Abraham religions.
In addition, Egypt is the cradle of belief and the banner of the glory of the revealed religions.
On its land, Prophet Moses – to whom Allah spoke – grew up on Mount Sinai, the Revelation of Allah shone on his heart, Divine message descended. On its land, Egyptians harbored in their bosoms Virgin Mary and her baby and offered thousands of martyrs in defense of the Church of Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him.
The Seal of the Messengers Mohammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) was sent to all people to perfect the sublime morals. It enlights our hearts and minds to Islam. We labeled the best soldiers on Earth fighting for the cause of Allah. Moreover, we disseminated the message of truth and sciences of religion across the world.
Egypt is a homeland in which we live. Meanwhile, in our souls it lives. In the modern age, minds enlightened, and humanity have became mature. Likewise, nations and peoples progressed on the path of knowledge, raising the banners of freedom and equality. Uniquely, Mohamed Ali founded the modern Egyptian State with a national army as its pillar.
Refaa, the Azharian, called for having the homeland. It is a place of happiness shared by all its people. We strived to keep up with the pace of advancement and offered up martyrs. Further, we have sacrificed in several uprisings and revolutions until our patriotic army stood up for the overwhelming will.
This revolution is a continuation of a national struggle whose brightest symbols were Ahmed Oraby, Mostafa Kamel, and Mohamed Farid. The 1919 revolution had rid Egypt. Egyptians of British protection established the principle of citizenship and equality for all the people. Its leader, Saad Zaghloul, and his successor, Mosfata El -Nahhas, in adopting Democracy asserted that Right is above power; the nation is above government. During this revolution, Talaat Harb laid down the cornerstone of the national economy.
The July 23, 1952 revolution led by Gamal Abdel Nasser was the dream of generations for independence. Egypt affirmed its Arab allegiance, supported liberation movements across continents, and took steps forward to development.
This revolution is an extension of the revolutionary march of Egyptian patriotism. It enhances the bond between the Egyptian people and their National army that shouldered the responsibility of protecting the homeland. We achieved victory in our greatest battles and drove off the 1956 Tripartite Aggression to defeating our defeat through the glorious victory of October 1973 that gave President Sadat a special place in our recent history.
Compared to other revolutions in the history of people. January 25 and June 30 Revolutions are unique with their high density of popular participation. It is estimated to be in the tens of millions and the prominent role of youth aspiring for a brighter future. It is also unique in that the masses transcended class and ideology divides to reach more expansive horizons. The army defended the people. It had the blessings of Al-Azhar and the Egyptian church. The revolution is unique because of its peacefulness and ambition to achieve freedom and social justice.
The world is about to turn the last few leaves of this era. The conflicts of interest between the East and West, the North and the South resolved. The period of disputes and wars erupted between classes and peoples.
Their dangers grew to threaten the existence of people and life on Earth. As humanity hopes to move from the age of maturity to the age of wisdom to build truth and justice prevail. Further, we protect freedoms and human rights. Egyptians believe our revolution is a resumption of our contribution to drafting a new history for humanity.
