The Islamic Research Academy sent on Sunday an Islamic Da'awa mission comprising a number of Azhar scholars to South Sinai governorate.

In a statement, Secretary General of Islamic Research Academy Mohi El-Din Afifi said that the Azhar scholars would meet security forces and youth there.

Lectures are expected to be delivered in clubs, youth centers and grand mosques in the governorate, he added.

The mission is due to launch a religious program to correct the misconceptions about Islam, propagate the moderate teachings of Islam and combat the extremist thoughts.
