Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday warned Muslim nations about plots hatched by enemies to sow discord among Islamic community.
Addressing a group of Iranian officials and the foreign participants of the 26th International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei felicitated birthday of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and stated that unity among the Islamic community was the main mission of the Holy Prophet.
The Leader pointed to the wave of the Islamic awakening in the Muslim World, and reiterated that the world arrogance targeted the Islamic Awakening movements and aims to divide the Muslims pitting them against each other.
“Therefore, the main duty of the elites in the Muslim world is to help expose the enemies’ plots and take serious efforts to materialize the motto of Islamic unity”, the Leader underlined.
