He was a Mujahid, one of Algeria's loyal scholars, and the translator of the Holy Quran into the Amazigh language."

"In this moment of great loss, I extend my heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased and to the revolutionary family.

I pray to the Almighty to cover him with His vast mercy and forgiveness, to grant him a place in the vastness of His Paradise, and to bestow upon his family and loved ones patience and solace. 'To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.'"
