CAIRO, July 28 (Aswat Masriya) Egyptians performed Eid prayer on Monday in mosques and public spaces set by the Ministry of Awkaf (Religious Endowments).

Most of the prayer sermons reflected the political tension in the country.

"Islam is innocent from those who kill our sons stationed on the borders," the Religious Endowments Minister said in a prayer sermon attended by the country's president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, referring the the rise of attacks against security forces in North Sinai. 

The government has set around 3,000 place for prayer and warned against using the spaces for any political campaigning. 

A statement by the ministry of endowments has said that all sermons must be under its full supervision.
