Hawzah News Agency- the head of Shia Seminary schools in Pakistan Ayatollah Hafiz Riaz Hussain Najafi, said in his Friday prayer sermons this week at the Imam Ali Mosque in Lahore,” From the perspective of the Holy Qur'an, the main identity of Muslims is Islam, not sectarianism, so in our circles and gatherings; Unity and equality should be promoted, not otherwise, because after reading the word of God and believing in it, a person is freed from the world and acts according to God's command.”

He further noted that we believe in the infallible prophets and imams (PBUT) by God's order. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), in order to stop him from preaching the religion, the infidels offered him wealth and power, but the Prophet (PBUH) replied: I will not hesitate to convey God's command to the people, even if the sun is placed in my hand and the moon in the other. Hazrat Amirul Momineen Ali (peace be upon him) also said: Even if the whole world is against me, I will not leave the path of truth.”

Ayatollah Hafiz Riaz Najafi also stated that the founder of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Khomeini (RA), was pressured to leave the path of the revolution, and said,” Imam Khomeini (RA) had only one sentence: "Neither East, nor West" and He shouted against America and the Soviet Union.”

He further explained,” In this way, the Islamic Republic of Iran has endured many hardships, but it has continued the mission of the founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.”
