Iran Press/ Asia: According to the public relations of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, heading a delegation, Hamid Shahriari met with Seyyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Pakistan, emphasizing that the price must be paid for the formation of justice. Shahriari also said that this can be achieved by standing up to oppression.
Pointing out that Late Imam Khomeini (RH) was the founder of the formation of unity in the Islamic world, Shahriari stated: "In this direction, as soldiers, we must work to achieve Islamic unity, and in this regard, intellection is very important.
This professor of the seminary and university elaborated: "In religious teachings, infidels have always been forbidden from irrationality, and believers have been instructed to thought and reason, and the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that rationality is the key to achieve the unity among Muslims."
Emphasizing the use of rationality to achieve unity, the senior cleric said: "We should not link our minor differences to general matters because there is consensus on general principles, and general principles of religions would serve as guide toward the path of human guidance."
Shahriari considered it useful to resolve minor disputes through the rational method and said that the order to kill a human is against the principles of the divine religions and that conflict and takfir should be avoided because it is not within the rational principles.
Stating that scholarly, elite relations and in the third layer of the general public is our goal for achieving unity, the professor of the seminary and the university added: "Meeting and presenting views with scholars and elites is useful to reach a single Islamic Ummah."
Hamid Shahriari arrived in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Sunday morning to meet with Pakistani religious leaders and figures.
In addition to Islamabad, the delegation is scheduled to visit Lahore and Karachi during the trip.
