Ahmed Rashid Mashhour The father and the teacher

Ahmed Rashid Muhammad Mashhour (38 years old), from the town of Kafr Tarkhan in the summer centre in Giza Governorate, graduated from the Faculty of Dar Al Uloom, Cairo University, and worked as an Arabic language teacher and memorizer of the Qur’an.

Ahmed was married and had four sons, Anas, Ali, Muhammad and Moamen, and the eldest of them, Anas was twelve when he lost his father.

Anas, after his father was killed, constantly participating in the marches rejecting the military coup and accompanying his mother in demanding the retribution of his father’s killers.

Ahmed was an ambitious dreamer, known for his noble manners, and the noble attitudes that his peers and lovers still remember. Accusations of bearing arms or murder and terrorism were strongly denied by his friends and acquaintances.

He had a significant and tangible impact on education and evaluating human behaviour, including the interests of the people of his village. His presence and his pioneering role in managing the nurseries of the children of his village, bequeathed him the love, pride and broad trust of the villagers, and the overwhelming love of the parents, with great gratitude for the impact he leaves on their children.

In addition to his education and service, Ahmed was in love with his field, the study of jurisprudence, he was known among his peers and friends for his dedication.

Rashid had participated in the January 25 revolution, and its aftermath and events, and sided with those who supported its legitimacy and the legitimacy of the electoral benefits that emerged from it.

His wife, Hala Muhammad, received the news of his death, while she was busy following the news of the dispersal of sit-in when she got the bad news.

Rashid’s mother did not try to dissuade him from participating in demanding his constitutional rights or prevent him from going down to the streets, as she knows his purpose and goal and believes in his nobleness and nobility.

The mother said, in contentment and acceptance, how she received the news.

She recalls how when she was recommending him to his children, he replied to her by saying, “Either victory or martyrdom,” which reinforced her feeling that his term was approaching.

The funeral of Ahmed Rashid, which took place in the Al-Ikhsas area in Helwan, was solemn, with an almost incalculable number of those who participated in it.
