The martyred leader considered Palestine the "axis of unity," not merely a regional issue
The Friday prayer leader of Ravansar city said: "The martyred leader believed that if the Islamic Ummah can achieve unity around the ideal of Palestine, many ethnic, religious, and political differences would fade away, and the great capacity of the Islamic world would be employed in the path of defending the rights of oppressed nations. For this reason, he considered Palestine the 'axis of unity,' not merely a regional issue."

Mamosta Molla Mohammad Mahmoudi, in an interview with the Taghrib News Agency (TNA), stated: "The issue of Palestine in the thought of the leaders of the Islamic Revolution is not merely a geographical or political conflict, but a symbol of defending human dignity, justice, the independence of nations, and confronting colonialism and occupation."
The Friday prayer leader of Ravansar city added: "From this perspective, Palestine is considered a trans-sectarian, transnational issue belonging to the entire Islamic Ummah, because it is the first Qibla of Muslims, the land of the prophets, and part of the historical and religious identity of the Islamic world."
This Sunni scholar said: "The martyred leader believed that if the Islamic Ummah can achieve unity around the ideal of Palestine, many ethnic, religious, and political differences would fade away, and the great capacity of the Islamic world would be employed in the path of defending the rights of oppressed nations. For this reason, he considered Palestine the 'axis of unity,' not merely a regional issue."
Mamosta Mahmoudi stated: "The Islamic Republic of Iran, from the beginning of the revolution, has pursued support for the Palestinian people based on the principles of the Constitution, defense of the oppressed, and opposition to occupation, and has considered this support as part of its principled policies."
He continued: "But to guide other Islamic countries to play a more effective role in supporting Palestine, the strategies must be based on rationality, diplomacy, and convergence of the Islamic Ummah, not merely on slogans."
The Friday prayer leader of Ravansar city recalled: "First, it is necessary to strengthen active diplomacy among Islamic governments and create consensus in regional and international forums to defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian nation."
He continued: "Second, expanding cultural, media, and academic cooperation to explain the legal and humanitarian dimensions of the Palestinian issue can further align the public opinion of the Islamic world with this cause."
Mamosta Mahmoudi stated: "Third, using the capacity of international and legal institutions to pursue human rights violations and protect the rights of civilians can increase political and legal pressure on the occupation."
He emphasized: "Fourth, developing economic cooperation among Islamic countries and utilizing shared economic capacities can increase the bargaining power of the Islamic world in regional issues."
This Sunni scholar noted: "Alongside these actions, avoiding internal differences, strengthening dialogue among Islamic schools of thought, relying on religious and human commonalities, and educating the younger generation based on the culture of resistance, justice-seeking, and defense of the oppressed are among the most important factors in forming a sustainable unity of the Islamic Ummah."
The Friday prayer leader of Ravansar city said: "In general, the more the Palestinian issue is presented as a humanitarian, legal, and Islamic issue rather than merely a political dispute, the greater the possibility of broader collaboration among governments and nations to confront occupation and support the rights of the Palestinian nation."
