BEIRUT-Muslims should be practically united and in solidarity.
This was stated by the general secretary of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
on Tuesday evening Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, giving a speech on the occasion of the week of Islamic unity, said: “The late Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has transformed the dispute over the birth date of the Prophet Muhammad [SW] in a point of assemblage. “, continuing:” Muslims should have practical unity and be in solidarity with one another and emphasize the points they have in common, instead of betting on differences and should understand each other. ”
Following the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979, Imam Khomeini, in order to strengthen unity among Muslims, declared the days between the 12th and 17th of the Arab month of Rabi al-Awwal as “Week of Islamic Unity “.
Since then, in Iran and in many Islamic countries, Shiite and Sunni Muslims have celebrated the birth of the Messenger of God (SW), during every day that goes from the date of birth of the Prophet according to the Sunni tradition until the day of his birth according to the Shiite tradition.
