Lebanese Islamic Researcher: Islamic unity today is a historical responsibility, not a slogan
She began by asking: “Where do we stand today in relation to the message of the Prophet’s mission, the Holy Qur’an, and the prophetic path of a Messenger who was sent to unite the Ummah, not divide it?”

Al‑Johari explained that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emerged in a society plagued by tribal fanaticism and, through divine revelation, dismantled these prejudices and united people around a shared word.
“The Qur’an was the project of unity, the Prophet was the leader of this movement, and the Ummah was the fruit of this divine mission,” she said.
Al‑Johari stressed that the Prophet and the Qur’an are not merely symbols of blessing but the ultimate criteria for measuring sincerity, responsibility, and moral commitment. She noted that the Qur’anic address “O mankind” reflects the universal nature of Islam and shows that Islamic identity transcends sectarian boundaries and narrow affiliations.
Referring to the issue of Palestine and al‑Quds, she described it as the clearest test of the Ummah’s sincerity.
“Al‑Quds is not just a political issue; it is the site of the Prophet’s ascension, the first qibla of Muslims, and a historical trust upon the shoulders of the Ummah. What is happening in Palestine today is not a passing headline—it is an open wound on the body of the Ummah and a reminder of the cost of division and the danger of silence.”
Citing the Qur’anic verse “And if they seek your help in religion, then you must help them,” she added: “If supporting the oppressed remains limited to statements, then it is not real support. The Palestinian cause has gone beyond a specific geography and has become a global measure of justice and human dignity.”
Speaking about Lebanon and Iran, she said: “Experience has shown that adherence to truth is not adventurism but a conscious choice. In Iran, too, where independent decision‑making has brought pressure due to its refusal to submit to global domination, support for Palestine is not a slogan but a principled commitment.”
Al‑Johari noted that today, nations from East to West—many without any religious connection—stand with Palestine simply because they reject injustice.
“What we see in countries like Venezuela exposes the double standards and the collapse of the so‑called international justice system.”
