Iraqi Cleric Lauds Iran’s Attention to Muslim Ummah’s Concerns

Sayyed Sadraddin Qobbanchi, the Friday prayers leader of Najaf underscored that organizing the event following the conclusion of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers shows that the Islamic Republic will not forget the issues of the Muslim world.

According to Iqna, the religious cleric went on to say, “the assembly also highlights the fact that the appropriate approach to the Muslim world issues is one of unity and proximity among followers of different Islamic schools of thought.”

The Iraqi scholar underscored that Muslim unity is necessary to confront the current crises in the Islamic world.

He noted that the approach that opposes unity is that of Takfiri terrorist groups like ISIL, Boko Haram, al-Nusra, etc.
