Prominent Shia cleric attending the Islamic proximity conference in Iran’s Kurdistan Province stressed importance of Muslim unity and said integrity of the Islamic nation is dependent upon solidarity of its members.

Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, attended the first conference on Islamic proximity in the grand Islamic center of Kurdistan Province noted that dispersion in an Islamic society leads to its distancing from God’s blessings, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
He said,” Unity in the Islamic nation is neither a tactic nor a strategy rather based on our religious texts integrity of the Islamic ummah is dependent upon solidarity.”
 
The cleric warned of dispersion in the Islamic society and noted that failing to enjoy blessings of God Almighty is the first symptom for a dispersed Islamic community which is soon plagued by clashes within itself.
 
Human society is in constant disagreement unless when it is blessed by God Almighty because it is only the blessing of God which unites the nation.
 
He counted the general grace of God which is inclusive for all creatures be it even the Satan while the other benediction of God includes only the pious people whose community is never harassed with disagreements and conflicts.
 
Ayatollah Araki said,” We understand the backstage to the seemingly amiable rhetoric of the enemies.
 
Top Iranian scholar made the remarks in the first conference on ‘Proximity of Islamic Denominations, Opportunities, Prospects’ held in the Iranian Sunni dominated Kurdistan Province attended by senior religious luminaries, prayer leaders and academicians.
