AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought stressed importance of settling disagreements among different Islamic denominations and preventing imposition of beliefs on other people.
 
Sheikh Hamid Shahriari met with a group of scholars from Nepal to warn of imposition of religious beliefs on others and promotion of division among Muslims.
 
He highlighted the role of Muslim authorities and scholars to practice beliefs of different Islamic denominations amid the present critical situation.
 
The cleric slammed the US-led efforts to prevail the liberal values across the globe during the past two centuries and said," None of the sacred boundaries have been defined in the liberal values promoted by the United States; therefore, it is our mission to expand freedom within the sacred confine."
 
Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought urged for guiding all people towards Islamic values and called that a mission for all Muslims.
 
He said," While God Almighty is the axis in Islamic values; mankind is the axis in liberal values."
 
Top Iranian scholar added," In view of liberal values religion could be acceptable but it is on the sidelines; while Islamic values views religion as the main axis."
 
Sheikh Shahriari referred to "presentation of Islamic values to people" as the responsibility of Muslim scholars and hailed holy Qur'an as well as lifestyle of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as the common scale among all Islamic denominations.
 
Senior cleric highlighted Islamic unity as the factor for establishment of an Islamic superpower versus colonial powers and stressed," The key messages of late Imam Khomeini (RA) were confrontation with arrogant powers, assisting the oppressed and boosting solidarity of Islamic countries."
 
He noted," The preliminary step for following Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is to settle disagreements" calling on all Muslims to "hold fast together to the cable of Allah" (Al Imran, verse 103).
 
Top Shia cleric slammed arrogant powers and enemies as the main inspiration behind division among Muslims and urged Muslims to settle Sharia disagreements among different Islamic denominations.
 
Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought made the comments in a meeting with Sunni clerics from Nepal held in at the headquarter of the Islamic unity center in Tehran.
