A Glimpse of the 29th Conference on Islamic Unity
Stressing that holding a celebration in memory of the Holy Prophet is a minor task, the leader of Islamic Republic of Iran emphasized "Today, the world of Islam has a responsibility to breathe a spirit into this world – just like Islam and the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) himself – to create a new environment and to open a new path. We refer to this phenomenon, which we are looking forward to, as “the new Islamic civilization”. We should be striving for the new Islamic civilization- for the sake of humanity. This is dramatically different from what powers think about humanity and from how they act."
Addressing to religious scholars and sincere intellectuals he stated that I am not hopeful about politicians anymore. In the past, it was thought that the politicians of the world of Islam can help in this regard, but unfortunately, this hope has diminished. Today, we have pinned our hopes on religious scholars throughout the world of Islam and on sincere intellectuals who do not consider the west as their qiblah.
Discussing on tools of world of Islam Ayatollah Khamenei said that we have an outstanding geographical location and we have many natural resources in the world of Islam. We have very talented and outstanding human resources in the world of Islam.
Furthermore , the leader stressed on Islamic Unity and the instruments to promote discords among Muslims by addressing Brothers, sisters, Muslims in the world of Islam, he went on "if this call reaches your ears, you should know that the day when the words “Sunni” and “Shia” appeared in the American discourse, we became concerned. Every insightful person became concerned. What does America have to do with Sunni and Shia? What does such and such a Jewish Zionist politician in America – who has done nothing except for showing malevolence against Islam and Muslims – have to do with making judgments about Sunni and Shia in the world of Islam? Why should he say something about Sunni and a completely different thing about Shia? Since the Shia and Sunni discourse showed itself in American words, those people who were perceptive and intelligent in the world of Islam became concerned. They understood that a new scheme was being devised, and it was finally put into practice.[1]
