Egyptians have been celebrating the outcome of the presidential elections after preliminary results favored al- Sīsī with over  93% of the vote. Indeed, al- Sīsī is viewed by many groups as a savior who has rescued Egypt from the drones of backward and extremist Islamists. However, little has been researched on his own Islamic values and how he views the role of religious institutions in society. Far from taking a secular stance, al- Sīsī’s “visions” seem to ensure the grip of conservative religious establishment over Egyptian society.
