•Ghadir, source of unity for Umma•
Imam #Khamenei:
I call all Muslims throughout the world 2 reflect on these realities. We don't at all insist that in a unified Islamic Ummah certain Islamic denominations should accept the beliefs of other Islamic denominations.

No, this is not what we mean by unity. Unity means that different Islamic denominations should highlight what they have in common and do not use their differences to cause fratricide, war, and enmity among Muslims. That is what we mean by unity.

But all Muslims should study what has been written by contemporary Shia researchers and great Shia scholars. Their works have been praised by the ulama, intellectuals, and prominent figures of the entire world of Islam. This is a reasonable request.

They shouldn't confine themselves 2 their own sources. They shouldn't deprive themselves of the works produced by the scholars of other Islamic denominations. Allamah Amini's "Al-Ghadir" & the books written by the late Seyyed Sharaf al-Din R a collection of religious realities.
Ghadir is an important historical event. In many of his books, Allamah Amini cited tens of Sunni sources that narrate Ghadir the way Shia do. Ghadir has not just been narrated in our books.

Some people may disagree about the meaning of mawla, but Ghadir was a historical event that established a criterion [for leadership]. It is obvious to all Muslims and Muslim rulers that the Commander of the Faithful (a.s.) was a peak of perfection.

The late Allamah Amini - the author of the book "Al-Ghadir" - and Shahid Motahhari believed that Ghadir is a source of unity for the Islamic Ummah. Some people should not assume that Ghadir is a source of discord. That is not the case.

Today Shia Muslims are being accused more than the past. Shia Islam is rooted in a correct, healthy, and pure belief in divine revelations. That is the meaning of Shia Islam. Shia Islam means being committed to the values and Quranic criteria.

Some people may talk nonsense and accuse Shia Islam of something that has nothing to do with it. They may say that Shia Islam is a fake sect. They may claim that Shia Islam is political in nature and that it has been added to Islam later on. Ghadir invalidates all these claims.
Some people try to show that this great Islamic movement and its followers are outside the scope of Islam. What do they gain out of this? Today policies are being adopted to promote this idea. Why?

Because thanks to the spirit of Wilayat, Shia Islam has managed to achieve something that was a dream for all Muslims. In the past, all benevolent, committed, and sympathetic Muslims wished that Islam would one day gain power and would restore its original unity and authority.
Muslim intellectuals of the past few centuries lived out their lives, wishing to see such a day. Today Shia Islam has fulfilled this dream - the dream of Islamic rule, grandeur, and dignity. This achievement has been made thanks to the spirit of Wilayat. The enemy can see this.
It wants to scatter D supporters of Shia Islam and Wilayat. As a result,2day more accusations R levelled against Shia Islam than ever be4.Throughout history, there've been some twisted individuals who've talked against Shiism, levelled accusations against it&spread lies about it
But today these accusations are far more than ever before, and this state of affairs is due to the policies adopted by the arrogant powers. Why do they not understand this?We should all try to understand this. Shia Muslims should try to understand this.

We should know that the policies of the arrogant powers are aimed at separating Shia Muslims form non-Shia Muslims. We should know that their policies are aimed at dividing Muslim denominations and pitching them against one another.We shouldn't help them achieve this goal.
We should prevent the enemy from achieving this goal. Both Shia and non-Shia Muslims are responsible in this regard. Today it is Shia Muslims in Islamic Iran who have raised the flag of Islamic power and glory, and the arrogant powers feel powerless. All Muslims should know this.
This is a fact. The plots that have been hatched by the enemies - America being the most important, and England being the evilest among them - against the Islamic Republic during the past 30 years are all due to the fact that they are terrified.

They R terrified of D Islamic movement and Islamic Awakening. The areas that R populated by Muslims are the most strategic areas in the world. They know that they will have no control over these areas when Muslims wake up to the realities, pay attention& feel independent&powerful
They know that they will lose control of these strategic areas when Muslims feel their Islamic identity. They are afraid of this. They hatch plots because they are afraid. They use various means to achieve their goal.

2day D leaders of arrogant policies-namely, America, the Zionists& other arrogant powers of the world-R using all their power in order 2 isolate the Iranian nation& the IRI. So far, they've not achieved this goal.& by Allah's grace, they won't B able 2 do so in the future either.
