Muslim World Should Move toward Establishing New Islamic Civilization
Today, it is the turn of the Muslim world to use knowledge, intellect, wisdom, prudence and insight toward founding the new Islamic civilization, the Leader said Tuesday in an address to a group of participants at the international Islamic Unity Conference, as well as Muslim ambassadors and Iranian officials.
They met with the Leader on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Islam’s Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imam Sadeq (AS).
The Leader said he was disappointed with Muslim politicians, calling on Islamic thinkers to help set up the new Islamic civilization.
Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the capacities and potentials of the Muslim world, stressing that if they go with true Islamic teachings, the Muslim Ummah can materialize its potentials.
"Today, the Western civilization is revealing its contradictions. It is now Islam’s turn and it is up to Muslims to mobilize their efforts and establish a new Islamic civilization.
"This address, however, is to Ulama and Islamic thinkers of the world who do not regard the West as their Qibla. I have no much hope in the world of Islam’s politicians,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The world of Islam must unleash a new spirit and a fresh environment and set up a new Islamic civilization, the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei further warned that the enemies are trying to trigger infighting among Muslims to prevent Islamic countries from setting up the new Islamic civilization.
"The aim of the enemies today is to set off a civil war among Muslims which they have unfortunately succeeded to some extent.”
"They are destroying countries one after another. They are destroying Syria, Yemen and Libya. They have Muslims in Bahrain under pressure,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The 29th International Islamic Unity Conference kicked off in Tehran on Sunday with the participation of hundreds of Shia and Sunni scholars and thinkers.
