Mojtaba Links Prophet Muhammad’s Birth to Muslim Unity, Defence

What the report says

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei marked the Prophet Muhammad’s birth anniversary and Islamic Unity Week with a message urging Muslims to strengthen solidarity and avoid division, according to Nile Post. In the statement, he said the occasion should serve as a reminder that Muslims ought to support one another and cooperate in areas such as wealth, security, science and development.

Khamenei described unity as a core teaching of Islam and argued that it should go beyond the absence of internal conflict. He said Muslim communities should also be prepared to defend each other and pursue a broader shared project that could contribute to what he called a “new Islamic civilization.” He also linked this vision to Iran, presenting the country as a partial example of the wider aims he outlined.

The message was framed by the newspaper against the backdrop of the continuing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel, which has affected regional security and energy routes in the Middle East. The report said the war has sharpened divisions among regional governments and drawn in Gulf states with U.S. military ties. Khamenei’s appeal therefore carries both religious and political weight, as it presses for Muslim unity while also challenging the current regional order and urging Iranians to avoid internal discord.
