Mamusta Dr. Abdussalam Emami says the role of fraternity and brotherhood in the unity, empathy and sympathy of the Islamic Ummah as well as the intellectual, scientific and practical synergy of the Islamic world is undeniable.
The full speech comes as follows:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Praise be to God, the Lord of Universe and Greetings to our master and peace be upon our master, our sir, and our Guide, Muhammad (PBUH), may God’s prayers be upon his family and all his companions, from now until the Day of Judgment.
While appreciating and thanking the founders and organizers of the 37th International Islamic Unity Conference of Tehran with the theme of Islamic cooperation to achieve common values, let me congratulate the audience on the birthday of the Prophet of Mercy and Kindness Hazrat Muhammad bin Abdullah (PBUH) and his noble grandson Hazrat Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS).
We send greetings and salutations to the defenders of the unity of the Islamic Ummah and the guardians of the unity of the Islamic Ummah, the dear ones, leaders and the dignitaries who stepped on the path of unity and who are not among us today, and the dear ones and the guardians of the Islamic Ummah who are diligently trying to realize the unity of the Islamic Ummah. I am at your service for a few minutes with the topic of Islamic sympathy and compassion and avoiding tensions and conflicts. God Almighty says: " The religion of your father Ibrahim, he named you Muslims before."
(We are Muslims, descendants of Khalil from your father, if you want proof.)
Furthermore, God says, “And remember God's favor upon you, when you were enemies, and He united your hearts, so that by His grace you became brothers.”
Out of his mercy, we became his brothers, we share one language, one heart and one soul, the people of the truth have the same argument and the same claim, our tents are separate, our hearts are the same.
Also, God says, “The believers are his brothers, so make peace between your brothers.”
We are neither Afghans nor Turks nor Tatars; we are born from grass and we are from the same branch, pure color and smell are forbidden to us, because we are raised by a new spring, our heart is not from India, Rome or Syria, our border and land is nowhere but Islam.
The role of fraternity and brotherhood in the unity, empathy and sympathy of the Islamic Ummah as well as the intellectual, scientific and practical synergy of the Islamic world is undeniable. Today, the Islamic world has the capacity to become a powerful political, economic, military and cultural block due to its special specifications in various domains.
One should admit that the capabilities and capacities of convergence and synergy in the Islamic world in the fields of economy, energy resources, military force, geographical, geopolitical and geostrategic fields, etc. provide the best opportunities for cooperation among Muslim nations and governments. The Holy Qur'an and the Prophet's tradition ask Muslims to live together with brotherly sympathy and compassion, widening the scope of cooperation to engulf non-Muslims as well. Numerous verses of the Holy Qur'an and Prophetic hadiths are the best evidence to prove this claim. God Almighty says, “And obey God and His Messenger, and do not dispute, lest you lose heart and your strength departs, and be patient, for God is with those who are patient.” Also, Quran says, “This nation of yours is one nation, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.”
(You were a nation, then becoming nations, giving up our happiness. Whoever saving himself from the self, will die and whoever joins aliens will die. What you did to yourself no one did, the pure soul of Mustafa started suffering.)
In the path to empathy and sympathy, Muslims should be aware of the sinister conspiracies and plans of the enemies, because the enemies have become aware of the grave potential of unity and empathy of the Muslims in the contemporary times and try to plan and conspire in different ways to create division, strife and conflict among Muslim nations and governments. The noble verse from Holy Quran says, “And let them take their precautions and their weapons. Those who disbelieve wish that if you were heedless of your weapons and your baggage, they would attack you with one tendency.” The best evidence to prove this claim is that according to the provisions of this verse, Muslims must always be alert and appreciate what they have from God's blessings.
The First 5 Minutes
This holy verse says Muslims should always be on the alert and appreciate what they have from the blessings of God, and also the noble verse “Prepare for them as much power as you can,” indiscriminately addresses Muslim nations and powers to do everything in their power for convergence and be in empathy. The word "power" is a meaningful word because power can be in the military, economic, cultural, political, occupational, production, etc. dimensions. God informs us of key axes of unity, which serve as factor of overcoming differences and preparing the ground for cooperation among Muslim nations and governments. The Messenger of God (PBUH) says: “Say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.”
(When a nation becomes intoxicated with monotheism, it gains strength and courage, until you hold the stick of God is unique, you will break every spell of fear.)
Also, Holy Prophet (PBUH) has commented on the issue as follows:
(From the mission of our hundred thousand, it is one, our part is from the part of the inseparable, from the mission, we have become the same, we have become the same soul, we have become a supplicant, our hearts are tied to Hijazi beloved, we are united to each other on this ground.)
According to Imam Jaafar Sadiq (AS), “The Alim in his age is not attacked by confusion.” Despite all the hardships and problems that face Muslim Ummah, Muslims should not become unhappy. They should hopefully continue the path to unity of Islamic Ummah because God Almighty says, “Do not be discouraged, and do not grieve, and you will be supreme if you are believers.”
(Whoever is right, when her soul is in tension, he does not bend his neck before falsehood, there is no way for fear in his chest, his mind is not intimidated by other than Allah, the strength of faith increases life. And there is no fear for them.)
As mentioned, Muslims should be aware of the evil plots of the enemies in creating enmity, strife and war between Muslim states and nations (the Lord of the Maghrib, who is full of tricks and techniques, taught the religious people of the homeland, he thought of the center and you in hypocrisy, skip Syria, Palestine, and Iraq.)
The Second Five Minutes
All the efforts of the camp of arrogance and colonialism in the contemporary era are concentrated on humiliation and degradation of Muslim nations and governments, but Muslims must put aside their and settle misunderstandings through dialogue, and we will try to do so in every part of the Islamic world. There are conflicts and strife and wars, let's use the immense and rich capacities of the Islamic world and the Islamic Ummah to end them and not to witness any conflict, war and conflict in the Islamic Ummah.
(Give the law of fraternity, open the cup of love, bring days of peace in the world again, give the message of peace to the warriors)
In using the convergence and empathy and sympathy of the Islamic nations in the direction of the synergy of the Islamic world, Muslims must cross the artificial borders that the enemies have drawn for them and put aside ethnicism, racism and bigotry.
(If you are a Muslim, don’t be bound to a certain region, do not get lost in the world, no matter how and how many times, get a heart that in the breadth of your heart, you will not be lost in this house of water and mud.)
And Muslims should not really see borders in the fight for the land of the Islamic Ummah and do whatever they can to defend their Muslim brothers anywhere in the world.
(Borders are the share of the earth and you are from the sky, what is the difference between the sky of Syria and Iran, our border is love, wherever it is, there is our soil, what is the difference between Samarra, Gaza, Aleppo, and Tehran?)
Today, unfortunately, if we witness weakness and humiliation in some Islamic countries, and also their obedience to Western countries, it means that we were not as faithful as we should be to the ideal goals of the Islamic religion, and we are not witnessing unity among ourselves because (Once the people lose the rope of unity, a hundred knots have fallen on our work; we are distracted in the world because we are stars, we are companions and strangers from each other.)
Therefore, Muslims should use the capacities that God has given them, whether the underground wealth, their geopolitical position, as well as natural geography. And today, cooperation and solidarity is better that sharing the same language. (So, language is another element for close ties; empathy is better than speaking the same language.)
And at the end, let me tell you that the huge capacity of the Islamic world and its huge population mandate Muslims to have a say in international changes and important global equations. Nowadays, there is really no place for one vote from the Islamic world in the Security Council, and also regarding the stances taken vis-à-vis the so-called desecration of Islamic sanctities, including the Holy Qur'an, Muslims and Islamic countries were expected to move more strongly and use the huge potential of Hajj, which God has provided as an annual meeting and conference to Islamic nations, to benefit more because,
(The Hajj is the nature-enhancing of the believers; the Hajj teaches emigration while burning one for patriotism; the obedience of the population capital, the liaison of the papers of the nation's book)
Based on that, the world's media should wait for the important decisions of the Islamic world at its meetings, and a decisive and strong action against the enemies, who are harboring enmity against Islam and Muslims; they should be able to put them in their place.
Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings be upon you
