Maintaining Muslim Unity Command of Prophet: Croatia Mufti
Aziz Hasanović made the remark in an address to the opening ceremony of the 39th International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran on Monday.
He emphasized that the Prophet (PBUH) was an example and model of mercy that all humans and living beings benefited from.
“The Ummah must be a mirror of mercy in all aspects, so we must spread mercy so that we see its signs in all our lives.”
The Grand Mufti of Croatia added, “Today we cannot talk about mercy while the crimes of the Zionist regime are taking place in Gaza. The scene in Gaza today is a great divine test. In every corner of Gaza, we hear the cries of children and women.”
Hasanovic said, “The question that arises is: Are we really reflecting mercy in Islam today? We must implement the mercy of the time of the Prophet (PBUH) in our actions.”
Today, the Islamic Ummah has a duty to implement the path and character of the Prophet (PBUH) and create an environment for all Muslims to follow this path, he underlined.
“All Islamic scholars must fulfill their responsibilities and support the Palestinians, not only in words but also in deeds. We must support and be their standard-bearers,” he went on to say.

Ammar al-Hakim, leader of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement, was another speaker at the event.
He said, “Unity does not mean giving up our beliefs, but rather we must unite against the challenges that target our existence on a global level.”
Emphasizing that Iraqi society has become unified and has opened its arms to the Islamic Ummah, al-Hakim referred to Israel’s aggression in the 12-day imposed war on Iranian soil and said, “Unity, cohesion, and coordination between the people and the leadership in Iran were among the most important factors of power that protected this country from Israeli aggression.”
He further referred to the Zionist authorities’ so-called “Greater Israel” plan and emphasized that the Israeli regime seeks its own development by encroaching on Muslim lands, and this poses great challenges to the Islamic world and all countries in the region.
The head of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement noted that surrendering to Israel will cause Muslim countries to face one defeat after another.
Sahibzada Abul Khair, chairman of the National Solidarity Council of Pakistan, in his speech highlighted the status of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and said, “God told the Prophet (PBUH) that He has sent him as a mercy to the worlds.”
He also said that Israel and its allies have not smelled any mercy. “Today, children in Gaza are dying of hunger and thirst; but Muslim rulers are doing nothing.”
