14 Sep 2024 - 17:05

A senior Iraqi cleric said that the ongoing war in the besieged Gaza Strip is not a war merely for the Palestinians but for all Muslims across the globe.


Sheikh Sarmad al-Tamimi, in his address to the first webinar of the 38th Islamic Unity Conference entitled "Islamic cooperation to achieve common values with an emphasis on the Palestinian issue", said God Almighty is actually dividing the Muslims with pure hearts from the others, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
He referred to the verse 7 from Sura Muhammad in the holy book of Islam “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet” saying,” Here God Almighty is addressing the community of Muslims and not one single person so that Muslims understand that a pillar of victory is convergence and unity.”
 
The Iraqi cleric emphasized that victory is achieved only when Muslims cling to solidarity as the key to their survival.
 
He said,” God Almighty mandates us, Muslims, to act like the members of one body.”
 
The remarks by Sheikh Sarmad al-Tamimi comes in an address to the Shia and Sunni elites at the webinar of the 38th Islamic Unity Conference on the Islamic cooperations which is this year focused on resolving the issue of Palestine.
 
More than 200 Muslim thinkers, activists and professors exchange views in webinars held concurrent with the Islamic Unity Week that marks the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), 14-20 September.
 
Organized by Iran’s World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, hundreds of Muslim scholars, religious figures and top officials from across the globe also attend a 3-day-event held in the Iranian capital Tehran on 19-21 September.
