Custodian of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani shrine calls for Sunni-Shia unity

Dr Mahmoud Khalf al-Essawi, custodian of the shrine of Sunni saint Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani in Baghdad, has stressed on the unity of Sunni and Shia Muslims in a meeting with a delegation of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) that visited him during Iraq visit.

Hawzah News Agency-Allama Raja Nasir, head of the MWM led a delegation that also invited Dr Essawi to visit Pakistan and the latter accepted the invitation promising that he would visit within the next few months, according to the MWM sources.

 

Sunni and Shia Muslims are just like two wings of an eagle and together they can take the eagle to the sky but without one of them the eagle of Islam cannot soar,” he said urging the Muslims to bury their sectarian differences to establish Islamic Unity.

 

The custodian of the Baghdad Sunni saint shrine said that Takfiris including Daesh were khawarij and they had nothing to do with Sunni Muslims because Sunnis detest the ideology of hatred and intolerance being practiced by Takfiris who perpetrate the massacre of innocent human beings. He said whoever preaches violence should be condemned without any sectarian bias.

 

Dr Essawi lauded the efforts of MWM chief Raja Nasir for unity of Muslims in Pakistan and thanked him on meeting him and inviting him to visit Pakistan.

MWM’s delegation comprised of deputy secretaries general Dr Shafqat Sheerazi and Syed Zaheerul Hasan Naqvi. Mr. Sheerazi is in charge of foreign affairs of the MWM.

 

 

End.
