Islamic preacher, Mohamed Hassan, warned about separating religion from the state, saying that Islam includes politics as it is a religion and a state. He said that Islam has organized the procedures for all of life's details, including minute events just as time spent in the bathroom. He said that we should be cautious of the calls of separating religion from politics, and that Islamic intellectual believe that having an Islamic caliphate is the way to protect the religion. Hassan discussed three main points during his Friday preach in Giza titled, "Do not Mix up the Truth with Falsehood." The first point was about the confusion between the truth and falsehood, the second included defining the truth and its elements, and the third point was about falsehood and how it contradicts true faith. He called for the Islamic nation to turn to Islamic Sharia in order to solve our problems and differences through the Quran and Sunnah. Hassan said the war against the truth has two objectives. The first one being to create confusion between truth and deceptions, and the second one is to conceal the actual truth. He viewed the first objective to be the most dangerous. He gave the example of those who left Islam after prophet Mohamed's death, confusing between the truth and falsehood. He said they refused to pay zakat (a pillar in Islam that includes giving money to the poor), saying that they will not pay it after the prophet's death. Hassan drew parallels between the people who are now accusing the armed forces of treason with those who left Islam after the death of the prophet. He criticized the elite who he said confuses between the truth and falsehood by smearing Islamic movements and figures, although they know that Islam is the divine approach. Hassan also criticized those who accused the military council of treason and being slow, and those who tried to fuel the sectarian strife in the country. He said that people should realize the conspiracy being carried out against Egypt and Islam. He also criticized students and those who want to change the constitution without changing themselves. Hassan stressed that rebuilding Egypt requires changing ourselves first by not committing sins and refusing corruption. Changing the constitution without changing ourselves is a useless process, said Hassan.
