The Output of Islamic Unity

In the opinion of Hazrat Ayatullah al-Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Islamic unity is an important religious duty. The necessity and importance of this unity gets more illuminated when we focus our attention towards fruits and blessings that come forth out of this unity of Muslims. When we take into consideration the gains that have been achieved by the world of Islam by way of unity it doubles its importance. For this reason, Hazrat Ayatullah Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei declares Islamic unity beneficial for the whole Islamic Ummah.

The Whole Islamic World can benefit from the Unity
There is no confrontation among us (Islamic countries) with regard to benefits. A common Islamic union, Islamic block is in the interests of all Islamic countries and it not particular to a single nation. The big Islamic countries also can be benefited by the Islamic union and equally it is true to weak, backward and small countries too. It is for the benefit of all and from every aspect it is beneficial for all. Then for whom it is detrimental? Who will be on the loser end by the unity of Muslims? The losers would the powers who intend to impose their filthy and abhorrent objectives upon Muslim nations i.e., America and political imperialism would be the losers. We have been inviting Muslim countries towards unity since the inception of Islamic Revolution. We have invited the Islamic countries of the region and small units towards unity. We have not told them that you should come for unity so that we are going to take advantage of it. We have always tried to maintain brethren and friendship with Islamic countries. It doesn’t mean that Iranian government or nation is specifically in need of alliance, instead the whole Islamic world is benefited with it.

The Dignity and Honour of the World of Islam Depends Upon Unity
One of the effects of Islamic unity is restoration of true distinction and identity and achievement of the status of Islamic Ummah at the global level as well as in the relations. The Islamic Ummah by virtue of its wide capacity and capability can play vital role in the global issues, while restoring and maintaining its unity, grace and determination.
"If the Islamic Ummah achieve its unity, if Islamic power shows itself accurately, if political independence and real independence achieve in these areas Economic, political and cultural domination and control of the enemy will be cut. These are not satisfied with this and try to make this not happen. They found a way to create controversy. Unfortunately, the disease has penetrated the body of the Islamic world."
The unity of Islamic world is a major objective and if this unity is achieved then of course the world of Islam besides achieving dignity and honour would be in a position to restore its authority over implementation of Islamic laws and it can be done. The governments and the nations both need to be provided help to this effect.
The governments too need to provide more help towards achieving this unity and harmony. If Islamic Ummah would be successful in restoring its proper authority in that case it will support these Islamic governments and will not let these Islamic governments to seek refuge in America or Britain because of their weakness and fear, as the Islamic Ummah would be at their back.
I think Islam is a great power in the world. Our population is more than one billion. If this population of one billion people would only maintain their friendly relations, about whom we don’t say that they should unite; absolutely, it can be said that they can play vital role in all global issues. Now if someone will try to create division in this great union, it is noteworthy. All the people need to keep a vigil over these elements and get them identified. In fact these are the elements, risen against Islam. Our slogan is “Islamic Unity’. I believe that this would be an initiative to this effect.

Sympathy of Nations - An Outcome of Islamic Unity
The other outcome and benefit of unity is mutual understanding, cooperation and coordination in order to resolve the general problems of Islamic Ummah. The unity and affection awakens the spirit of mutual cooperation among Muslims.
The first effect and outcome of Islamic Unity should be the feeling of mutual sympathy among nations in such a way that nations may shear each other’s happiness, grief, troubles and worries. If a nation calls for any help, other nations should rush to respond his call. This is our obligation and it will be fulfilled. This is the promise of God that we accept and believe in it. This is our faith that أ¦أ³أ‡أ،أ¸أ³أگأ¶یأ؛أ¤أ³ أŒأ³أ‡آھأ³أڈأµأ¦أ؛أ‡ أ‌أ¶یأ؛أ¤أ³أ‡ أ،أ³أ¤أ³آھأ؛أڈأ¶یأ³أ¤أ¸أ³آھأµأ£أ؛ أ“أµأˆأµأ،أ³أ¤أ³أ‡ “And those who strive in Our [cause], We will certainly guide them to Our paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right and without any doubt Allah will help Believers.â€‌29:69.
