Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) – Speaking at the closing ceremony of the 'First National Quranic Competition to commemorate Martyred Holy Shrine defenders' which was held in Qom on Tuesday, Hujjat al-Islam Saeedi asserted, "Every Muslim is responsible to live up to its religious duties regarding holy Quran and they must not hesitate to do so."

Pointing out the present problems within the Islamic world, Hujjat al-Islam Saeedi went on, "Muslim nations are currently dealing with certain problems due to the fact that they have been negligent of Quranic teachings and true Islamic values. The solution to their ongoing problems is to return to the holy Quran and act upon its divine teachings in order to save themselves."

Elaborating on the characteristics of British Shiism, the Iranian cleric added, "Those who propagate division among Muslim nations are an example of British Shias whose sole purpose is nothing but to sow discord among Muslim sects and nations."
