Expansion of Islamic unity, major mission of Shia Sunni promoters

Hujjat-ul-Islam Ali Nazari Monfared, top Shia cleric, in an interview with Iran’s RASA News Agency, hailed the arrival of Islamic Unity Week, saying that the unifying religion of Islam is owed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) who joined all Muslims round the flag of monotheism brought by Islam.
