ʻO Assiut kahi kūlanakauhale mākaʻikaʻi liʻiliʻi, mālama ʻia, mālie ma ʻAigupita me ka liʻiliʻi o nā hiʻohiʻona post-Pharaonic e loaʻa ana i nā mākaʻikaʻi ākea ākea. No ka mea hoʻokahi, ʻo ka Al Muharraq Monastery kokoke i ka ʻaoʻao komohana o Qusqam, ma kahi o 50 mau kilomita ma ke komohana ʻākau o Assiut, he hale mōneka paʻa 12 mika kiʻekiʻe i kūkulu ʻia e Anba Pachoimous i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia.
Aia i loko o ka hale pule kahiko loa i hoʻolaʻa ʻia ma ka honua Kalikiano i ka makahiki 38 AD (me ka pā kaua i kūkulu ʻia ma hope e King Xenon i 474 AD), a ukali ʻia e ka Ekalesia o Mar Girgis i kūkulu ʻia ma 1898 a ma hope, ua kūkulu ʻia ka Halepule o ka Virgin Hemolele i Malaki. 1960. Ua manaʻo ʻia ua kipa ka ʻohana Hemolele i kēia wahi no ʻeono mahina a me 10 mau lā ma hope o ko lākou holo ʻana i Palesetina ma ko lākou ala i ʻAigupita.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i kēia mau lā, ua hoʻopilikia ka ʻohana e noho ana ma Halim Pasha Dus villa e pili ana i nā hakakā ma waena o nā mōneka mai ka Al-Muharraq Monastery. Ua hoʻāla ʻia ka hakakā ʻana ma muli o nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i kahi kuleana waiwai pilikino. Wahi a Mamdouh Thabit o ka Al Mis al Youm, ua hana ʻia nā hakakā ma hope o kahi hōʻuluʻulu huna liʻiliʻi o 25 mau mōneka ma ka māla villa o Dus. Ua koi lākou i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka waiwai ma ke ʻano he endowment o ka monastery. Ua hoʻohewa nā mōneka i ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole o nā mākaʻi. No lākou, ua hōʻoia nā lālā o ka ʻohana kamaʻāina ua loaʻa iā lākou ka villa mai 1942, e kākoʻo ikaika ana i kā lākou koi me nā palapala.
ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ua hōʻoia ʻo Father Pachoimous, ke kākau ʻōlelo monastery, i ke kumu o ka hālāwai malū o nā mōneka no ka pale ʻana i nā haʻawina monastery e makemake ai ka ʻohana e hopu me nā palapala hoʻopunipuni. Hōʻike ke kahuna i ka monastery nā palapala a me ke poʻo inoa a ʻike i nā ʻaoʻao maoli ma hope o ia ʻano ʻino e hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia inā ʻaʻole e hoʻoholo koke ʻia, wahi a Thabit.
ʻOiai i manaʻo ʻia he wahi hoʻomana a me ka maluhia o loko, ʻike ʻia ka Al-Muharraq Monastery me ka hoʻomāinoino sectarian a kaumaha i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka hoʻomana. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ʻōlelo ʻo Father Philoxenos o ka Al-Muharraq Monastery ʻaʻole pono nā Karistiano e kipa iā Ierusalema koe wale nō me ko lākou mau kaikunāne Muslim. No laila ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i ka Al-Muharraq Monastery kahi koho lua no ka poʻe haipule. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e wehewehe kēia i ke kumu i kūkulu ʻia ai kona mau pā ma ke ʻano like me nā pā o Ierusalema. ʻO ka manaʻo manaʻo o ka Coptic Orthodox Church ʻo ia ka huakaʻi hele i ka Monastery of Al-Muharraq Monastery e like me kahi huakaʻi i Ierusalema.
Me he mea lā e kahakiʻi mau ana ka hoʻomana i waena o nā kānaka ma ke kauhale mākaʻikaʻi liʻiliʻi o Assiut a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe. Eia nō naʻe, aia ka ʻāpana Coptic a me Muslim e like me ka blur i ka waena - pōmaikaʻi. Noho pū kēia poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo ma ke kauhale.
Ma waho aʻe o nā hiʻohiʻona Coptic o ke kaona, ʻo Assiut ka nui o nā mea koʻikoʻi Islam me ka Al Farrgal Mosque o Abu Tig, ma kahi o 27 Km hema o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO ia kekahi o nā hale pule nui loa ma luna o ʻAigupita. Hōʻike ʻia ka Al Farrgal e nā minarets ʻelua me ka lua kupapaʻu o Mohamed Al Farrgal, kekahi o nā poʻokela o ka honua Muslim. Aia ma ke alanui ʻo Al Thawra ka Fouad Institute i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka Mōʻī ʻAigupita ʻo Fouad.
Ua kūkulu mua ʻia i ka makahiki 1928 a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1938 e ke aupuni mōʻī, ua hoʻokipa ka hale kaila Islam i nā haumāna e aʻo ana i ka jurisprudence ma Islam a me ka ʻepekema. Ma ke kauhale o Dashlout, aia ʻo Dairout i ka Mosque Abu Al Oyoon, 7k km komohana komohana o Assiut. Me ka hoʻolālā paʻakikī, hale ka hale pule i ka hale kupapaʻu o Sheikh Ibrahim Abu Al Oyoon, ka moʻopuna a ka moʻopuna ʻo Ibrahim Abu Al Oyoon Al Sharif Al Magrabi i hele mai mai Morocco i ʻAigupita i ka makahiki 1926 AD. ʻO ka hope loa, ʻo ka Al Mugahedeen Mosque i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Assiut i nā lā Ottoman ma kahi o 1706 AD, ʻo ia ka monument i hoʻokumu ʻia e Mohamed Bey, i kūkulu ʻia i kahi hoʻolālā Ottoman ʻokoʻa, me kahi minaret kiʻekiʻe loa i hoʻonani ʻia i ke ʻano maʻamau o Mamlouk.
Ke nānā aku nei ka honua Muslim i ka Hajj a me ka Umrah, hele ka poʻe pilgrims e ʻimi i nā koho huakaʻi ma hope o Mecca i kēia ʻano pua, kahi ʻāina ʻo ʻAigupita e like me Assiut.
I kēia manawa, hakakā ʻo Copts me ka nūhou e pili ana i nā hakakā ma waena o nā mea nona ka waiwai maʻamau a me nā kāne e manaʻo ʻia e hoʻolaha i ka maluhia ma Assiut.
