Dr. Zahid Ali Khan ,who is acting reader in the Deptt. of Sunni theology said," Ruhullah Khomeini's concept of unity under the theme of Prophet birth anniversary week is very influential worldwide, I am repeating his goal in his own words, world peace is such that all countries are under the political influence of the superpowers; they observe a control everywhere and have schemes for defeating every group. The most important of it is sowing discord among brothers.
Muslims should be awake, Muslims should be alert that if a dispute takes place among Sunni and Shi'ite brothers, it is harmful to all of us, it is harmful to all Muslims. Those who want to sow discord are neither Sunni nor Shi'ite, they are agents of the superpowers and work for them.
Meanwhile, Dr. Raza Abbas highlighted the motive of unity under the umbrella of Prophethood and various other points, he pointed that ,"Unity among different sects of Islam is possible and need of hour but in the same time we have to join against takfiri extremist ideologies and various groups which are working against the true spirit of Islam and tried to create discord among the masses".
