He stressed  the legacy of his peace-loving creativity, harmony and brotherhood remained present after his death  as a continuous call to give priority to the language of dialogue to strengthen and build nations.

In turn, Ibrahim Khalaf, Head of the Writers Union branch, indicated that the vision of the late researcher was based on the principle of what unites us the most that divides us.Khalaf pointed out that the late researcher focused  on the commonalities between religions in terms of worship and goals at the same time on the basis that dialogue between the components of the one nation is a duty to confront terrorism that does not distinguish between a church and a mosque.

For his part,  researcher Ahmed Al-Hussein, head of the board of directors of Safsaf Al-Khabour Association , explained that the late researcher devoted his pen to defending the issues of truth and dignity as well as the heritage of his homeland and his nation.
