Building modern civilization demands effort by all Islamic denominations

Akhoond Othman Nazari, prominent Sunni cleric from Iran’s city of Gonbad-e Kavus, stressed employment of all commonalities shared by different Islamic denominations in building a modern Islamic civilization and merely one Fiq’h, group of ideology will not make any achievements, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He highlighted importance of counseling and convergence to run one’s life in view of Islam and that is the reason why justice, a preliminary demand for monotheism, is among important pillars to form new Islamic nation.

Prominent Sunni scholar counted unity and importance of ‘holding fast to the rope of God’ as the mission of all Muslims and stressed,” Whenever Muslims distanced from their religious mission they were trapped by enemies and lost their greatness.”

He reiterated necessity of maintaining unity in as important stance as prayers and fasting referring to historical instances when the solidarity was achieved in moments of unity between all Muslims.

Akhoond Nazari warned against any rift between Muslims as a reason to undermine glory of Islam and stressed necessity of avoiding disagreement and division among Muslims.

Iranian Sunni cleric hailed the theory of ‘New Islamic Civilization’ as an initiation by the Supreme Leader of Islamic Republic and said that in view of Ayatollah Khamenei, this civilization can cover all aspects of man’s life.

‘In modern Islamic civilization, performing the high teachings of Qur’an, logicality, knowledge, brevity, prevalence of justice and a popular ruling system are among the features’ said the Sunni cleric and expressed hope that wise rulers, Islamic solidarity and mighty media will spread modern Islamic civilization across the globe.
