Khaled El-Gendy: Egyptian Soldier’s Strength Lies in Resolve, Steadfastness and Patience

Sheikh Khaled El-Gendy, a member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, said the strength of the Egyptian soldier lies in determination, steadfastness and patience rather than physical appearance.

Speaking about the meaning of strength, El-Gendy said a person’s true power cannot be measured by physique or the size of their muscles.

Instead, he identified resolve, patience, steadfastness and ability as the qualities that define genuine human strength.

His remarks placed inner qualities at the heart of his description of the Egyptian soldier, drawing a distinction between looking strong and possessing the determination to endure.
