A loving father, a kind brother and a great leader, Dr Mohamed Morsi Isa al-Ayyat was the first and only democratically elected Egyptian civilian president.
Dr Mohamed Morsi met his lord striving persistently on the path of justice.
Dr Morsi was born in a small village, al-Adwah, in Sharqia province. He later moved to Cairo in the 1960s to study at Cairo University where he earned his first degree in engineering.
He then spent a few years in the US where he completed his PhD at the University of Southern California. Working for NASA, Morsi was part of the team that developed space shuttle engines.
However, Morsi yearned for his country, returned to Egypt and pursued a teaching career as a professor at Zagazig University, in Egypt. Subsequently, he became the head of the engineering department.
Morsi entered politics when he was elected for the first time to the Egyptian parliament in 2000 and served there for five years as an independent.
