A great controversy arose in social networks, due to a statement that the pioneers of “social networks” broadcast by the great artist Abdul Rahman Abu Zahra, made during his honor at the First Experience Festival at the Syndicate of Performing Professions.
Abu Zahra replaced a famous verse from the Prince of Poets, Ahmad Shawqi, in which he says: “Defend the teacher and make him revered. The teacher was almost a messenger”, with the phrase “Defend the artist, the position of reverence. . the actor was almost a messenger “, considering that the profession of actor is one of the most generous, great and honorable professions. .
For his part, Abu Zahra said, through his Facebook account: “An Arabic-language messenger is someone who carries a message from one side or one person to another or another person, and according to this concept the prophets are called messengers. because they carry a message from Creator God to Humans. “
He continued: “The role of the artist is not limited to entertaining and entertaining people, because every true artist conveys a message through every work they offer, and for sixty years I have carefully chosen every work that I have submitted, and whether the artist He is not a messenger who delivers a message in every job he presents, he must review his choices. I will not allow a group of people ignorant of the Arabic language, its connotations and beautiful rhetorical structures, to destroy sixty years of messages. “
He added: “May God have mercy on Ahmad Shawqi, when he said,” Rise up to the master and make him revered. The teacher was almost a messenger. “
