Resistance against Zionist Enemy Noblest Manifestation of Unity: Hezbollah Official Says
This is true unity and there is no difference among Muslims and Christians in this regard, Sheikh Naim Qassem said, addressing a forum held Friday evening in the city of Sidon, Lebanon, on the occasion of the birthday of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
“Universality of Islamic Unity, Call of Imam Khomeini (RA) as a Model” was the theme of the forum.
Sheikh Qassem further referred to the conclusion of the maritime demarcation with the Israeli regime and said the achievement was the outcome of the united and strong position of the Lebanese people, army and resistance.
He also called on the political parties in Lebanon to focus on common grounds for choosing the country’s future president.
Other speakers at the Friday forum also reiterated the need for strengthening Islamic unity and boosting cooperation among resistance groups.
The 17th day of Rabi al-Awwal, which fell on October 13 this year, is believed by Shia Muslims to mark the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), while Sunni Muslims regard the 12th day of the month (Sunday, October 9) as the birthday of the last prophet.
The interval between the two dates is celebrated every year as the Islamic Unity Week.
Late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini (RA) declared the occasion as the Islamic Unity Week back in the 1980s.
