Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools: “Unity, Shapes the Identity of Islamic Society”

Ayatollah Mohsen Araki, in the closing session which was held in the Astan Quds Razavi Islamic Research Foundation with presence of Sunni and Shi'ite scholars, said: “Exploring the Quranic verses, we find that monotheism is an essential element in the Holy Quran, in a way that casting schism and separation is considered absurd from Quran point of view.”
“Polytheism to divine commands, has a role to sow discord between Muslims, and adherence to the commands of God, brings unity in Islamic society” he said.
“According to the verses of Holy Quran, unity among Muslims is known as a kind of love to the Prophets and Infallible Imams (A.S.), which can play a valuable role in the Islamic society, and this is evident in the Scripture” he said.
Friendship, Key to the Islam Survival
 “Friendship is the key to the survival of the Islamic Nation, and enmities cause schism and separation among the Nation” Secretary General of WFPIST reiterated.
“The devil strives to cast schism with different measures among the Nation, and this requires that the people with their conscious actions stand out against the fiends of time” he added.
“Islam has emphasized on respect, expressing love for the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) as well as his pure Household, which Muslims ought to put it on the agenda” Ayatollah Mohsen Araki stated, pointing out that friendship among the Nation, provides the grounds for unity.
“Love to the family of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), would lead to unity and avoid divisions, and it should be well noticed within the Islamic Nation” he expressed.
“Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) tried by divine invitation and wiping human mistakes, entrust this divine religion among his Nation” Ayatollah Araki remarked.
