Unity Week, Birth anniversary of the noble prophet ( s )and Imam Sadiq

Today, in this small, yet luminous and great meeting all schools of Muslims including our Sunni and Shi`ite brothers, universities and theological seminaries and different strata of people have assembled. This is an example of the blessings of the Islamic Revolution God has bestowed upon all of us. By His grace we have became brothers. The universities, that used to be apart from seminaries, are today united with them. It is hoped that this unity will remain forever Sunni and Shi`ite brothers have initiated the unity of expression and I hope this unity will remain till the end.

Unity, an example of the blessings of Islamic Revolution
I congratulate all Muslims on the auspicious birth anniversary of the seal of prophets and his honorable son Imam Sadiq. I beseech God to bless all Muslims.
Today, in this small, yet luminous and great meeting all schools of Muslims including our Sunni and Shi`ite brothers, universities and theological seminaries and different strata of people have assembled. This is an example of the blessings of the Islamic Revolution God has bestowed upon all of us. By His grace we have became brothers. The universities, that used to be apart from seminaries, are today united with them. It is hoped that this unity will remain forever Sunni and Shi`ite brothers have initiated the unity of expression and I hope this unity will remain till the end.

Emphasis of Islam on brotherhood of believers
Various colors, this is white, that one is black and the other one yellow all these issues cause schism by these satanic superpowers that want to cause rupture among nations and individuals. On the other hand, we see that Islam leans on fraternity in different expressions. The believers and brothers we learn from this verse that there is nothing among believers but brotherhood; everything about them can be summed up in brotherhood. The superpowers realized that if this brotherhood were to come true, they could not interfere with other countries.

Following the glorious Qur'an and the beloved Islam
We, the nation of Iran, the government of Iran and all Iranians extend our hands to all Muslims and ask them to join this nation and strengthen brotherhood. All Muslims should have a bond of brotherhood. We extend our hands to all Islamic countries and want them to join us and be brothers with us, as Islam has said so that we overcome our problems. They should not think this unity in Iran is harmful to them. Iran is an Islamic country and wishes welfare for all Muslims. Iran sees all Muslims as their own brothers and we want all Muslims, governments and nations to be united for this goal we have: Islam.
We are not after anything; we want neither government in the sense the superpowers want, nor power in that sense. We all want to follow the glorious Qur'an and the beloved Islam which will run everything for us. Learn from the unity that exists among all sects and groups in our country. We have been able to solve all the problems imposed on us from all sides thanks to this unity. Look how unity in a small population and in small environment has drawn the attention of the world to it and how it scared the superpowers. If this power of about thirty million joins the power of the Islamic countries with a population of one billion, no power can control this massive flood of one billion people.

Declaration of brotherhood with world Muslims
We want all countries to have this kind of harmony we have here. All Muslims should be one hand against the aliens. Everyone in his own environment with whatever government and whatever sect, should be independent. Muslims should be brothers and friends to one another; they should relate to each other; armies of all Islamic countries should support one another. If it were not for disunity among Muslims Israel with its little population would not dare to disregard Muslims. If there were no dispute among Islamic governments and Islamic countries, America could not rule over all countries and take away all their resources. We plan to keep our country independent, to live free and to come to terms with all Muslims of the country and with all inhabitants of the country. We wish to be united with official sects, to stick together and to preserve our country. No power can harm us if we have harmony in this small environment and with this population.
