Dr. Masoud Jamal Khanzadeh, director of Bazm Forough Ensaniyat Institute, in his address to the fifth webinar of the 37^th Islamic Unity Conference underlined importance of Islamic solidarity as the biggest common value for all Muslims, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He said,” We need to work on the issue and set it as the pivot.”

The senior scholar hailed the late founder of Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini for the inspiration to call the week coinciding with the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as the Islamic Unity Week.

He noted that solidarity in the Islamic ummah should be taken as a common axis and quoted the prominent Pakistani poet Allameh Iqbal saying, “All should be one to guard the Haram (shrine) from the banks of the Nile to Kashgar.”

The comments by the top Pakistani thinker came in the fifth webinar of the 37^th Islamic Unity Conference.
