(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Shia cleric visited Sunni community in the southeastern Province of Sistan and Balouchestan praising the interaction between Rashidun Calliphs and Ahlul Bayt (a.s) to be exemplary for the contemporary Muslims.
Hujjat-ol-Islam Mohammad Mahdi Taskhiri, press deputy of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought visited Sunni Muslims in Zahak, southeastern Iran and praised the affection among Rashidun Caliphs and Ahlul Bayt (a.s).
He hailed the honesty of Rashidun Caliphs and said, "They led a simple life and were quite careful of the rights of the Muslims while today we witness pharaonic governments who claim to be Muslims."
"Muslim Caliphs have always trusted the advices of the household of the Prophet (PBUH)" said Taskhiri adding, "For the same reason, Ahlul Byat (a.s) have honestly cooperated with them."
Hujjat-ol-Islam Taskhiri referred to the contemporary rulers of some Arab countries and said, "Rulers in some Islamic countries like Tunisia and Egypt looted the public funds of the Muslims while Abu Bakr, first Muslim caliph and father-in-law of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), did not spend even a penny of the public fund for his personal use."
He added that the fact was telling of a pseudo Islamic system in some Muslim countries and that Islam has become a means for misuse for some rulers.
"What was stressed by the Caliphs and the companions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was nothing but empathy and Muslim unity," said this cultural figure and reiterated maintaining a unified Ummah (community) as a major concern for all Muslims demanding all Muslims to contribute for the objective.
Hujjat-ol-Islam Taskhiri also warned against the enemies of Islam and said, "Enemies clearly know that once the Muslims are united, enemies can do nothing against Islam," stressing that as the reason for seditious efforts by the enemies.
He referred to the world powers to be behind all extremist and seditious measures and said, "Enemies, via the satellite channels and poisonous propagandas, want to block the way for unity of Muslims because they are fully aware of the Muslim unity to foil their plots.
He stressed that difference between denominations is quite natural saying, "Absolute unity of Muslim denominations is in fact impossible because every denomination is formed based on its special beliefs but what matters is unity of opinions and maintaining the solidarity in confronting the enemies."
Mowlavi Abdolkarim Zoghi Pak, Sunni Prayer Leader of Zahak called affection of the Muslims vital saying a problem for one Muslim is actually a suffrage for all Muslim community.
He called Islam as the religion of balance and moderation and that sectarian bias should not lead to misjudgment and that we support a criminal.
He highlighted obeying the true Islam and preventing sedition as the secrets for victory of Muslim nation.
