My repeated and emphatic recommendation to the rulers of Islamic countries, especially those in West Asia and along the Persian Gulf, is this: recognize your real enemy, understand its plans, and confront them. The remedy for the problems facing the Muslim Ummah is unity, friendship, and cooperation in righteousness and goodness. The criminal rulers of the United States and the illegitimate Zionist regime are sworn enemies of this unity and friendship. They are not only enemies of the Islamic Republic, the Iranian nation, and the great Resistance Front, but enemies of the entire Muslim Ummah, including the peoples of West Asia and North Africa. Even the rulers of many of these countries, despite cooperating with them, are not exempt from this hostility, as evidenced by the public insults and degrading language used by leaders of global arrogance against some heads of Islamic states.
The first lesson of Islam regarding relations with enemies and friends is unity and avoiding internal conflict. The second lesson is defending one another against disbelief and oppression. The third lesson is cooperation and mutual strengthening in every aspect of the material and spiritual life of Muslims, including wealth, security, knowledge, and progress. The ultimate destination of this path is the establishment of a new Islamic civilization.
Therefore, unity among Muslims is the cornerstone for achieving a dignified and victorious Islamic civilization. This intellectual and conceptual vision, which represents our aspiration for the Muslim world, has to a considerable extent been realized in dear Iran. Once again, my recommendation to every member of the Iranian nation is that they should never allow any division to emerge among themselves.
In conclusion, I hope that through the intercession of the Noble Messenger and his purified family (peace and blessings be upon them), the mercy and blessings of Allah will encompass Islamic societies, and that Muslims will continue, day after day, to ascend the path of progress, dignity, and honor by acting upon the commands of Allah.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
