Now to Egypt where the mosque, that was last week scene of the deadliest attack in the country, is welcoming back worshipers but without its main preacher. Sheikh Mohamed Rozeik was one of the victims and is still recovering from his injuries. Our correspondent went to the preacher's hometown and has the story.

In a remote village in Eastern Egypt, two hours drive from the Capital Cairo lies a small village called Geziret Saud in el Hussieniyah area. Here is where Sheikh Mohamed Rozeik lives, the Preacher of the Sinai Al Rawda Mosque that was brutally attacked leaving more than 300 killed.

ADEL EL MAHROUKY CAIRO "As tragic as the attack was, it has brought the best in the Egypt people. As soon as Sheikh Mohamed was released from his hospital, scores of residents of this village and the neighboring villages too came to welcome him. And Christians living here, gave him Quran the holy book of Islam in a remarkable sing of unity."

It's been a week, yet the 26 years old Sheikh is still getting many visitors everyday. They squeeze in the tiny bedroom of his humble home. Together they go over what happened in the deadliest attack Egypt has seen and the first against a mosque.

MOHAMED ABDEL FATTAH ROZEIK IMAM OF THE ATTACKED SINAI MOSQUE "A year ago I heard that this mosque would be targeted, along with other mosques as well, because of its Sufi rituals. I never imagined that any one would attack a mosque. Even when I heard the bullets at first, I hided thinking they're after a certain person and they'll leave, I never imagined something like that."

Mohamed got injured during the stampede that followed the first minutes of the attack.

MOHAMED ABDEL FATTAH ROZEIK IMAM OF THE ATTACKED SINAI MOSQUE "On the stairs of the mosque I fell, on top of me were many who were trying to have shelter and flee from the rain of bullets. I rested on the ground and above me were two or three dead bodies. Then I felt someone from the attackers coming up the stairs. He stepped on my leg on his way up, then he stepped on my head, I think he may have been looking for survivors, he thought we were all dead."

Preaching at Al Rawda mosque was his first assignment after graduating from Al Azhar University, and an unforgettable terrifying memory it has become.

MOHAMED ABDEL FATTAH ROZEIK IMAM OF THE ATTACKED SINAI MOSQUE "I was afraid for sure. I'm just 26 years old, and my only son is just 15 months old. All what I could think off during the attack was him. Couldn't stop imagining, if I die, who would have looked after him!."

Once he recovers, Sheikh Mohamed says he may return to North Sinai. He's sure though that he'll continue his graduate studies in Islamic Laws, to fight the puritanical ideologies of militant groups with the moderate values of Islam. AMA CGTN Hussieniyah village, Egypt.
