According to Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), Speaking with News Agencies on the sidelines of the closing ceremony of the 6th Damascus Islamic Unity Conference, he said, “The Islamic Ummah has initially been a solid nation and this important point has been mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an, too.”
The two-day scientific gathering was sponsored by the Syrian Endowments Organization, cosponsored by the IRI Cultural attaché in Damascus, attended by the Secretary General of the WFPIST Ayatollah Mohammad-Ali Taskhiri and a number of Islamic countries’ elites and Islamic personalities, and held at the Syrian National Library, called Maktabat ul-Assad.
Eid al-Bari added, “The ongoing global and regional developments should not affect the materializing process of the Islamic unity.”
The Mufti of Damascus said, “Regardless of the stands of each Muslim individual, they are all members of the same unified Ummah and therefore, they all need to have the shared Islamic culture.”
He reiterated, “Everyone should know that we are a solid Ummah, and our presence is expanded in the east, west north and south of the globe, which is why the call of Allah-o-Akbar echoes throughout the world, calling Muslim brethren of all races to stand for prayer before the grandeur of Almighty Allah altogether.”
The Syrian Grand Mufti added, “The Holy verse of God’s Book have reiterated our unity and we are obliged to heed God’s command in this respect.”
