Addressing a group of Qur\u00e2\u201e\u00a2an scholars attending the 30th edition of the Tehran International Qur\u00e2\u201e\u00a2an Competitions on Saturday, the Leader said “unity and agreement among Muslims is an urgent duty.”\n<\/p>\n
Ayatollah Khamenei added that the Qur\u00e2\u201e\u00a2an invites Muslims to remain united and avoid division, and is against the colonialist way which creates discord among Muslims and fuels religious prejudices.\n<\/p>\n
The Leader said discord among Muslims would result in \u00c5\u201cbloodshed, blind terrorism and its horrible consequences\u201d and serve the interests of the Israeli regime, urging Muslims and Islamic governments to keep vigilant in facing such threats.\n<\/p>\n
Pointing to the Islamophobia wave created by the West, Ayatollah Khamenei said Western enemies have waged an open war on Muslims and therefore the Muslim world needs to strengthen its internal capabilities.\n<\/p>\n
The Leader emphasized that unity, solidarity and focusing on commonalities can further empower Muslims.\n<\/p>\n
