Ayatollah Khamenei stresses unity among Muslim states

The Supreme Leader described Hajj pilgrimage as an opportunity to foil plots of those who seek to drive a wedge between Muslims.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has underscored the need for unity among all Muslim countries amid enemy plots to create rift in the Islamic Ummah.

Addressing a group of Iranian Hajj officials in Tehran on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei described Islamic unity as “the Islamic Republic’s fundamental slogan”, which means that Muslim states should set aside enmities and stand by each other in dealing with key global issues.

The Leader further described Hajj pilgrimage as an opportunity that must be seized in order to foil enemy plots, which are hatched to separate Iran from the rest of the Muslim world.

“Raising a barrier between the Islamic Republic [of Iran] and the rest of the Muslim world is one of the ploys [used by] the enemies of unity in the Islamic Ummah,” the Leader stated, adding that every Muslim is obligated to make efforts to help raze this “fake barrier.”

Ayatollah Khamenei also warned of false enemy propaganda aimed at spreading illusions about Iran and Shia Islam.
