Islamic Revolution, harbinger of Islamic unity

Hujjat-ul-Islam Ahmad Farokh Fal, manager of Qom Seminary, in an interview with Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) praised Islamic unity as an outstanding achievement of the Islamic Revolution and said,” Islamic Revolution in Iran, following the ups and downs during the Pahlavi era, has truly raised the flag of science and unity.”

He stressed,” World arrogant powers have not spared any effort for crackdown and questioning the Islamic solidarity, a move which motivated late Imam Khomeini (RA) to stress unity of the Muslim world more than anything else.”

The cleric referred to arrogant powers’ policies saying,” World arrogant powers and the UK have based their policies on disunity and decadence of the countries in line with their colonial strategies. If the nations are united with each other then colonial powers cannot carry out their heinous ambitions.”

“Capability of Imam Khomeini (RA) was to array all anti-Shah movements and groups in a line against the US and tyrants of the time.” said the scholar and added,” The powerful movement of the Islamic Revolution attracted all groups and this unity against enemies was due to struggles of Imam Khomeini (RA).”

The cleric stressed moderate stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran and said,” Enemies should note that the heinous culture of Takfir (excommunication) and those who portray Shia with a violent image in the world will have end nowhere.”
