Article summary: 

Dr. Mustafá al-Fiqī writes a short feature on William Sulaymān Qilādah.

 

Article full text: 

“He was a respectable counselor in the State Council but what was more important was that he was an intellectual man who was interested in the history of political and social thinking; he was concerned with issues of national unity,” Dr. Mustafá al-Fiqī starts his article about William Sulaymān Qilādah, “I still remember my special meetings with this counselor and our talks on different occasions.” He was a model Egyptian who believed in his nation and worked on reform in all directions.

 
Dr. Qilādah is a unique character missing in Egypt at a time when tolerance and values have disappeared while feelings of racism and fitnah are spreading. Dr. William Qilādah, the legal counselor, who had a PhD in civil law and was a member of al-Sanhūrī Council, had real values that society misses nowadays.
 
“We feel empty after such a model Egyptian disappeared,” al-Fiqī comments, “He was one of those fixed in our minds with the times when no one knew the difference between Muslims and Christians since we all belong to only one Egypt, where everyone is equal.”
