Islamic Revolution Leader urges for brotherly cooperation

Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with participants in the 26th round of international Koranic contests said following Koran would lead to glory, dignity and unity of the Islamic Ummah, adding that recent days' political developments should not turn into an issue of discord and all should cooperate for the progress of the country.  

Ayatollah Khamenei said the Koranic meetings would help Muslims to have a close connection with Koran. He advised people to have connection with Koran not only through ear and eye but also through heart.

"Koran is intended to be followed and deliberated and as much as we follow it, we will see its effects," IR Leader said.

Pointing to Divine promises for the faithful, Ayatollah Khamenei said if we follow the Koran instructions, the divine promises would be achieved adding that today the Islamic world is thirsty for Koran's teachings.

The IR Leader referred to enemies' efforts to endanger Islamic unity and said "the enemies of Islam cheatingly claim that they are not against Koran however we see they oppose Koran's teachings."

Ayatollah Khamenei lauded the existing unity among the Iranian nation and said unity is to move towards principles while it is possible to have some differences in secondary issues which could never block unity.

Ayatollah Khamenei recommended the political circles in the country to be careful in their remarks and avoid making rifts, adding that total dismissal of others over second issues of minor importance is not in the interests of the country and that all political figures must join hands in developing the country.
 
Ayatollah Khamenei raised the recent days' developments in the political arena in Iran and said that the issue should not lead to more disagreements, adding the positive traits of one personality should not be totally denounced for a single mistake he has committed.

Ayatollah Khamenei invited all political figures to be fair in their words and deeds and touched on a God's order in Koran on being fair even towards enemies. He urged all political personalities to keep adherence to principles while keeping their different tastes.

Ayatollah Khamenei said difference of tastes is natural and usual, adding however that if political taste is mixed with worldly desires it would prove destructive.

Ayatollah Khamenei said God will bless everyone who is committed to his duties.

Ayatollah Khamenei at the end of his remarks said that the favor of God has always been with the Iranian nation.
