Hawzah News Agency- Shia scholar Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Saeedi, in a gathering of scholars, muftis and Sunni teachers of Pakistan, which took place on Sunday, January 29 in the Mihrab Hall of Lady Masuma (PBUH) Holy Shrine, stated,” The Holy Prophet said, the difference within my Ummah is a mercy, which means that these differences, conflicts, discussions and going back and forth causes God's favors and blessings to descend upon Muslim community.”

Stating that God has set occasions and places for pilgrimages, he said,” Among the occasions are the days of Hajj and Umrah, and among the holy places are cities of Mecca, Medina and Kaaba, where people gather from different countries and cultural backgrounds.”

He stated that after verse 103 of Al-Imran Surah, in which God commanded unity, the discussion of enjoining good and forbidding evil was explained, and said,” From these verses, it can be deduced that unity is a clear example of enjoining good and division is a clear example of evil, so we must command the people to unite and forbid division.”

He added,” The Islamic community has many common points regardless of its different views, so our duty is to take advantage of the common points and avoid division so that God may shower His blessings on us.”
